Evidence And Confirmation - A Study On The Confirmation Of The Problem Of Contemporary Epistemological Evidence

Epistemology is the contemporary western analysis of important areas of philosophy research, the definition of traditional knowledge is confirmed to be justified true belief, but Gettier counterexamples illustrate that satisfies the three(truth, belief, justification) condition is not necessarily the knowledge, because it may only occasionally or illusion. Therefore, the research focus on the justification, thought that belief is properly justified as more important than the definition of knowledge, we hold the belief must be properly evidence. Mainly starting from the justification of knowledge analysis.Evidentialism as a genre in contemporary epistemology, it emphasizes the justification of knowledge based on reasonable link with evidence and propositions. “Evidence” of Epistemology is mainly source of Evidentialism,Chisholm considers the evidence for the proposition provides no doubt cognitive evaluation, he deems that the justified evidence status is regarded as “evident”,justified extent between true and certain,justified evidence is some perceived propositions. Nozick also requires justification of proposition is evidence, just not Chisholm, Nozick emphasized that evidence is the true connection between facts and propositions, instead of “I think”“I conceive” that kinds of perception proposition. Feldman and Conee on Chisholm and Nozick’s foundation establish Evidentialism, it follows the traditional knowledge analysis theory, emphasizing the justification of knowledge factors focused on evidence and cognitive belief is justified, is due to fit with the attitude of cognition and the evidence.Evidentialism argue that justification depends entirely on the evidence, which justified that in understanding the belief, is decided by the nature of knowledge about belief of the evidence. The main contents of evidentialism include evidence of evidential define,how to take possession of evidence,the relationship between evidence and doxastic proposition, and justified effect of the evidence about doxastic proposition, and so on. Evidentialism research is mainly made by Chisholm, Nozick, Feldman, Chisholm’s “theory of knowledge”, Nozick’s “philosophical Explanations” and Feldman’s “evidence” theory are on the evidence of the content were described in detail.The thesis concentrate on detailed combing the justification theory of Evidentialism,contains source of ideas, essence, justified elements and cognitive relation, gives some evidential justification schemes, but conclusive evidence itself is facing Internalism and Externalism, Foundationalism and Coherentism, and justified standard dilemma. To point at these difficults, Feldman undertakes reconstruction for the justification theory, rational explanation and Susan Haack’s evidence of indicate the degree will undoubtedly have a strong persuasion, but also have their own shortcomings, the author on the basis of the point of view of pragmatic justification and contextual principle,will try to provide a feasible solution to the knowledge of evidence justification theory, and provide a reasonable explanation for the nature and the limit of knowledge.
