Theories in Epistemology

For those that are familiar with it, what epistemological school do you believe is correct?

I would say that revelation kind of covers almost all of the theories.

how so?

The central difference between the schools of epistemology are their definitions of knowledge. Therefore, other than this conflict, they are all useful for different things.

The only thing I would reject outright would be the JTB but I would hardly call that an epistemological school.

I am a materialist and a quasi-objectivist. I think we are capable of knowing reality and that reality is pretty much what it seems to be. I think the most interesting question in Epistomology concerns the idea of certainty. Certainty seems to be impossible to prove, accept where the truth is true by definition.

The Angellousian school.

I'm always right, of course.

What about that which we show is impossible to doubt?

Nothing is impossible to doubt. The imagination can create any circumstance or possibility sufficient to doubt any proposition. Unless of course, there is something we cannot doubt, that we cannot know we cannot doubt. But that would just be annoying.

Sorry it has taken me so long to answer your question.

There are many ways to determine knowledge, but it all comes down to the perception of the person. Hence why i think that revelation is just the one way that incorporates all other ways because ultimately the individual is left to decide for his or herself.

I had a problem with the very first clause in the article, so I stopped reading.

Although empiricism and rationalism exhaust the possible options for how we acquire knowledge

They seem a rather limited bunch.
