Propositional Knowledge

Propositional knowledge refers to knowledge that can be expressed in clear statements or propositions, such as "water boils at 100 degrees Celsius." In the context of Justification Theory, it emphasizes that for knowledge to be valid, it must not only be true but also justified. This means there must be good reasons or evidence supporting the belief. Simply knowing a fact isn't enough; you need to be able to explain why you believe it is true. This ensures that our knowledge is reliable and based on sound reasoning rather than mere opinion.
