According to Justified True Belief or JTB, a proposition is known when someone believes it is true, and it is in fact true. One thing I find odd about this view is that it makes it possible to know something, without actually knowing that you know it. Take the example of someone trying to fix a computer. They believe that the issue is a particular virus, but they aren’t certain. As it turns out, they were correct, and so according to JTB they had knowledge without certainty. Is this possible?
