Theories of Knowledge

Logic of Belief Arg.
-To belive X is to accept X for true
(or corresponding with the way things are)
-No logical connection between a persons desire and the way things are
Conclusion: Believing on basis of desire is irrational.

Descriptive Volitionism:
-Is it true?
-True for all beliefs
-True for some beliefs
-Is it possible to sustain beliefs formed this way
-Rationalization

Prescriptive Volitionism: says it is ok to let desire have a role in determining belief
-Is having true belief intrinsically valuable or only valuable as mean to other goods
-Blissful Ignorance
vs. Harsh Reality
