In this thread I was hoping we would not assume much epistemological sophistication. I was hoping to spark discussion that would develop into more sophisticated ideas. The thread would be kind of like an introduction to epistemology that would start with justified true belief, explore the problems with this, and then explore different solutions. It seems my idea is misplaced and this is not a good thread.

I think it's a good thread, and I'd be more interested in discussing if you would be, too.

Paul says in Colossians 2 that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ. Would that be a starting point for defining knowledge? And just so you don't assume that in asking a simple question I'm trying to espouse Clarkianism, please know that I am not doing so.
David,
What do you take Paul to be saying in Colossians 2?
