Can there be truth without knowledge?

However, we can say that truth is a condition of knowledge; that is, if a belief is not true, it cannot constitute knowledge. Accordingly, if there is no such thing as truth, then there can be no knowledge.

In what ways do I get to know myself According to Plato?

The Platonic Interpretation As for Socrates, for Plato the starting point is being self-reflective enough to recognize that your starting point is one of ignorance (despite his view expressed by Socrates in the Phaedo dialog that knowledge is a matter of recollecting things your immortal soul already knows).

What does knowledge that something is true mean?

Is it easier to say ‘I Know Nothing’ than “I only know tiniest’?

From such a position, it’s easier to say “I know that I know nothing” rather than the more technical truth: “I only know the tiniest bit of knowledge, and even that is probably incorrect”. The same principle still applies to us, if we compare ourselves to humans living 200-300 years in the future.

Is there any knowledge that can be known purely through intuition?

This is slightly inaccurate, though, because even an empiricist would admit there is some knowledge that can be known purely through intuition and deduction. For example, you clearly don’t need empirical experience to work out that “2×75=150” because it is an analytic truth.

How do we have knowledge of the external world?

Knowledge of the external world doesn’t rest on any proof of the external world. Instead, knowledge of the external world is achieved in sensory experience. It is through the entrance of an idea into our mind through the senses that we have knowledge of the external world.
