Sosa

Sosa is a philosopher known for his work on knowledge and how to define it. He developed a view called "afaithful presence," suggesting that to know something, your belief must accurately reflect the truth, and you must rely on reliable methods or evidence. Sosa emphasizes the importance of skill and reliability in belief formation, proposing that knowledge involves not just being right but having a skillful, properly grounded belief that tracks the truth. His ideas help clarify what distinguishes true knowledge from mere belief or luck.
