Can You Actually Know Anything? Epistemology for Normal People (Dr. Trent Dougherty) | Ep. 571
Pints With Aquinas
Belief, propositions, and propositional attitudes
Trent outlines belief as an assertive propositional attitude and distinguishes hope, desire, and belief.
This episode's mature themes may not be suitable for children. Catholic philosopher and epistemologist, Dr. Trent Dougherty, joins Pints to tackle the age-old question: what does it even mean to know something? The conversation weaves between rigorous philosophical debate - Descartes, Gettier, justified true belief and vulnerable personal territory where Dougherty shares his battles with the inner demons that plagued his pursuit of success.
