The first chapter is called Conjectural Knowledge: My Solution of the Problem of Induction. I know conjectural knowledge was talked about in a CF article. Conjectural knowledge is knowledge that’s fallible. That means we can always find a mistake in it in the future I think. We may find out that there’s an error in the knowledge.
I think I’m having trouble talking about the issue of how there’s going to mistakes in fallible knowledge. I kind of know how tho cuz I can describe it in CF terms. There may be a mistake in our knowledge cuz we might find out more about the goal, or get more context. An error may come up there. A mistake or error is something that results in failure at the goal. It might not always be a goal cuz we could also talk about purpose or problems.
Here’s a quote about how CR views knowledge(It’s from the article Critical Rationalism Overview):
I think CF agrees with what CR calls conjectural knowledge. That’s knowledge we have. It’s useful for a purpose or goal. What I’m unsure here is how to talk about information and how that is useful or good for a purpose. I think it would help if I use logic and grammar well to understand how “good, useful” modifies information in the following:
Now that I found the quote it says “ideas” not information. Am I making error here? It’s like im misquoting stuff in my head. It’s also like I’m remembering stuff vs. knowing it.
