    Part of a larger discussion

    Key Terms

    Divine knowledge(as the main topic being discussed)
    The philosophical question of how God knows things—particularly whether God knows the future, knows everything at once, or knows things the way humans do.
    discrete(as used in describing sounds or events)
    Separate and distinct from each other, with clear breaks in between—like individual dots rather than a continuous line.
    knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
    Justified true belief — true belief that has been arrived at through the exercise of deliberative capacities, including comparison of and deliberation among alternatives.
    non sequitur(Used to characterize Kant's alleged inference from the necessity of unity of consciousness to its sufficiency for object representation)
    A logical error in which a conclusion does not follow from the premises offered in its support

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    proposition(Used in the context of a semantic theory sensitive to differences in subject matter.)
    The content expressed by a sentence, individuated at least in part by the subject matter of the sentence and the contents of its subsentential expressions.
    temporally indexed propositions(philosophy of time and language)
    Statements that are tied to specific moments in time—like 'It is raining on Tuesday at 3pm' rather than just 'It rains.'
    truth-value(logic and philosophy of language)
    Whether a statement is true or false. Two statements can have different truth-values if one is true and the other is false.
