Conceptual Analysis - Epistemology Video 4

This is video 4 in an introductory course on epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge. One of the central topics of contemporary epistemology is giving a conceptual analysis of the concept of knowledge. In this video we consider the method of analysis, how it works, and what kind of trouble it might run into. We learn about necessary and sufficient conditions, and about the method of examples and counterexamples.
