Mental Act Theory

Mental Act Theory posits that knowledge is fundamentally linked to our mental states or acts. According to this theory, to know something, it isn't just about having information; it's also about being aware and actively engaging with that knowledge. Essentially, knowledge involves a conscious mental process where a person believes something to be true and has good reason to believe it. It emphasizes the significance of the cognitive aspects of knowing, focusing on how we think and process information rather than merely the accumulation of facts.
