Knowledge as Justified True Belief

Knowledge as Justified True Belief is a classical concept suggesting that for someone to truly know something, three conditions must be met: the belief must be true, the person must genuinely believe it, and there must be good reasons or evidence to justify that belief. In other words, knowledge isn't just about believing something; it also has to be correct and supported by solid justification. This framework helps distinguish genuine knowledge from mere guesses or false beliefs by emphasizing both truth and appropriate justification.
