Belief and Knowledge in Nietzsche

Abstract

According to a traditional epistemological conception, knowledge is justified true belief. This conception presupposes that three conditions must be satisfied in order to someone to be in possession of knowledge. S knows p if and only if: p is true, S believes that p and (3) S is justified in believing that p. From Nietzsche's point of view, it is possible to ask three questions to that conception of knowledge: (1) What does it mean to have a belief? (2) What makes a belief true? (3) Is it possible a rational justification for our beliefs?

Keywords:
belief; knowledge; true
