Ermanno Bencivenga,  Knowledge vs. Belief.  The Philosophical Forum, Vol.30, No.1, March 1999.

Note: strive to do more than give the shortest possible response to these!

1) Explain what the Vronsky incident is supposed to illustrate.

2) Bencivenga is trying to turn us away from what, and toward what?

3) From E.B.’s perspective, what are the key characteristics of knowledge, and of  belief?
    Can either of them be true, or false?  What other characteristics can either of them have?

4) Does E.B. think that belief can become knowledge?  Why, or why not?

5) How does E.B. distinguish between knowledge-how and knowledge-that?

6) Explain how he answers the self-referentiality issue.
