Defining Epistemology00:00:01

The session introduces epistemology as the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature, types, and boundaries of knowledge. It examines what constitutes valid, verified knowledge versus mere opinion.

The Justified True Belief (JTB) Framework00:02:18

Prof. Hazim explains the JTB model, asserting that for something to be considered 'knowledge,' it must satisfy three essential conditions: belief, truth, and justification.

The Three Essential Conditions of Knowledge00:03:10

The lecturer elaborates on the three elements: first, one must hold a belief; second, that belief must be objectively true; and third, it must be supported by justification, as mere guesses (like random selection in an exam) do not qualify as knowledge even if they happen to be correct.

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions00:07:27

The video concludes by discussing how these three elements function as both necessary and sufficient conditions; removing any one of them renders the concept incomplete, failing the definition of true knowledge.
