    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 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 for 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.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
