Whittington's cat

Whittington's Cat refers to a thought experiment attributed to philosopher William Whittington. It illustrates a logical paradox involving a cat in a closed box, used to explore issues related to belief, knowledge, and evidence. The paradox prompts us to consider how we can be certain about what we know, especially when observing indirect evidence. Essentially, it challenges our assumptions about certainty and the nature of knowledge, encouraging critical thinking about how we interpret information and differentiate between belief and knowledge.
