    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→The Zebra* variant instantiates the disjunctive template

    The disjunctive template requires that the subject's justification be wholly constituted by a factive perceptual state, but S's justification for P3 can be partially grounded in background knowledge about zoo practices.

    Key Terms

    Perceptual state(part of the mechanism of perception)
    The experience or mental condition you're in when you're perceiving something—what it's like to see, hear, or feel something at a given moment.
    S and P3 (notation)(as used in epistemology)
    Shorthand symbols used in philosophy: 'S' typically stands for 'subject' (a person) and 'P3' likely refers to a specific proposition or belief being discussed (the third one mentioned).
    background knowledge(Popper's philosophy of science)
    Items that must be taken for granted during scientific criticism, but which are not conclusively established and may be challenged at any time, especially if their uncritical acceptance is suspected of causing subsequent difficulties.
    disjunctive template(Framework for analyzing transmission of justification)
    An epistemic structure that requires a subject to have justification for believing a conclusion (Q3) that is independent of the subject's justification for a premise (P3) based on perceptual experience.

    factive(Used by Jary 2007 to argue that showing force entails having that force.)
    A property of a predicate such that its application entails the truth of its complement; if X shows P, then P is the case.
    grounded in(whether distinctness or identity is explained by intrinsic features)
    To be explained by or to have its reason or basis in something else—like how a tree being wet is grounded in (explained by) recent rain.
    justification(Third condition of the tripartite account of knowledge)
    The condition on a knower's belief that excludes mere luck — the belief must be held in a way that is appropriate or warranted, not merely accidentally correct.
    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.
