Abstract

It is commonly accepted that the definition of knowledge is not among the main epistemological concerns of the period between Plato and Edmund Gettier. Kalām is an exception to the rule. Kalām scholars provide a detailed philosophical analysis of the difference between knowledge and mere true belief. In this article, I am focusing on the analysis of knowledge in one tradition of kalām, Bahšamite Muʿtazilism. I will argue that knowledge is a factive mental state for the Bahšamites. I will also show that the Bahšamite definition of knowledge is a combination of internalism and externalism with respect to justification.

知识在Mu - tazilite中是一种精神状态Kalām

人们普遍认为，在柏拉图和埃德蒙·盖蒂尔之间的时期，知识的定义并不是主要的认识论问题之一。Kalām是一个例外。Kalām学者对知识和纯粹的真实信仰之间的区别进行了详细的哲学分析。在这篇文章中，我专注于对卡勒姆传统Bahšamite Muʿtazilism中的知识的分析。我会争辩说，知识对巴哈米特人来说是一种虚假的精神状态。我还将表明，巴哈米特对知识的定义是内在主义和外在主义在正当性方面的结合。

期刊介绍： Oriens is dedicated to extending our knowledge of intellectual history and developments in the rationalist disciplines in Islamic civilization, with a special emphasis on philosophy, theology, and science. These disciplines had a profoundly rich and lasting life in Islamic civilization and often interacted in complex ways--from the period of their introduction to Islamic civilization in the translation movement that began in the eighth century, through the early and classical periods of development, to the post-classical age, when they shaped even such disciplines as legal theory and poetics. The journal''s range extends from the early and classical to the early modern periods (ca. 700-1900 CE) and it engages all regions and languages of Islamic civilization. In the tradition of Hellmut Ritter, who founded Oriens in 1948, the central focus of interest of the journal is on the medieval and early modern periods of the Near and Middle East. Within this framework, the opening up of the sources and the pursuit of philological and historical research based on original source material is the main concern of its editors and contributors. In addition to individual articles, Oriens welcomes proposals for thematic volumes within the series.
