The Nozick's Tracking Theory

Nozick’s Tracking Theory of knowledge suggests that for a belief to count as knowledge, it must accurately "track" the truth—meaning if the belief were false, one would not hold it. In other words, correct beliefs would only occur in nearby possible scenarios where the belief remains true, and false beliefs would be absent in those scenarios. This view emphasizes that knowledge involves a reliable connection between belief and truth, ensuring that true beliefs are not obtained just by luck or coincidence but through a responsive process that aligns with reality.
