Goodman's Token Theory

Goodman’s Token Theory, related to general knowledge, suggests that propositions can vary in their truthfulness depending on the specific context or instances of their use. Essentially, it argues that knowledge is not just about abstract truths but also about the particular situations in which those truths apply. For example, a statement can be true in one scenario but not in another. This perspective emphasizes the importance of context in understanding knowledge, suggesting that knowing something might involve recognizing the specific conditions under which that knowledge holds true.
