Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Knowledge requires a true belief that is well supported by evidence. For example, if Jones believes that squirrels are a type of fish, then this belief does not count as knowledge because it is not true that squirrels are a type of fish. If Jones believes that squirrels are a type of mammal, this belief will not count as knowledge unless Jones has good evidence for it. If he merely guesses that squirrels are mammals, then he does not know it, even though his guess is correct.
