    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • Knowledge consists in the identification of that which is known with that as which it is known.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Knowledge requires justification beyond mere relational identification, as Gettier cases demonstrate that true belief via correct identification can still fail to constitute knowledge.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A subject can correctly identify X as Y through lucky coincidence, meaning the relational account Schlick offers is insufficient without an anti-luck or causal constraint.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein's rule-following considerations show that any relational 'identification' presupposes a prior normative framework that cannot itself be grounded in another identification relation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If knowledge is grounded solely in a thing-to-thing relation, the regress of what licenses that relation undermines the foundational role Schlick assigns to identification.

    Earlier Schlick had argued that knowledge consists in the identification of that which is known with that as which it is known or, in other words, knowledge consists in the relation of one thing to some other thing, as which it is known. And this is only achieved when one of the objects which is known is, in turn, related to still others, as it is in the myriad spatio-temporal relations in which it stands to other objects. Ultimately, all these relations can be known quantitatively by specifying
