Epistemology is the study of (A) logic, (B) ethics, (C) law, (D) knowledge, (E) the ultimate nature of things. All beliefs do what? (A) affirm that something is true, (B) know that something is true, (C) correspond to reality, (D) are coherent with each other, (E) are stated publicly. The most popular way of defining truth among world philosophers is (A) correspondence with reality, (B) coherence with one's beliefs, (C) correspondence with a priori reasoning, (D) correspondence with a posteriori reasoning, (E) correspondence with what works. The most popular way of defining knowledge among world philosophers over the centuries has been (A) true belief, (B) coherence with other beliefs, (C) proper basicality, (D) justified true belief, (E) justified belief. The philosopher who has done much to question that the definition of knowledge referred to in problem #4 is complete is (A) Rene Descartes, (B) David Hume, (C) Thomas Aquinas, (D) Plato, (E) Edmund Gettier. The school of thought in Epistemology that appeals to basic and non-basic beliefs is called (A) Coherentism, (B) Pragmatism, (C) Foundationalism, (D) Existentialism, (E) Phenomenalism. According to the position referred to in problem #6 above, a non-basic belief is held rationally if and only if (A) it is properly basic, (B) it is grounded directly to a properly basic belief, (C) it is ultimately grounded in a properly basic belief, (D) it is known a priori, (E) it is consistent with all other non-basic beliefs. A concern facing the position referred to in problems #6 and #7 is that some philosophers find it hard to accept (A) belief in God, (B) the use of faith, (C) that non-basic beliefs can ever be rational, (D) that basic beliefs are rationally held, (E) that noetic structures exist. The school of thought in Epistemology that appeals to consistency among one's beliefs is called (A) Coherentism, (B) Pragmatism, (C) Foundationalism, (D) Existentialism, (E) Phenomenalism. A challenging problem for the position referred to in problem #9 above is that one can take a clearly ridiculous belief and supposedly make it rational by (A) believing in God, (B) taking what philosophers call a "leap of faith," (C) adopting additional irrational beliefs, (D) doubting all other beliefs, (E) ignoring the problem.
