A little "discussion quiz."

1. What are "facts"? What's a good definition of a fact?

2. Are there facts that you don't know about, or even have any beliefs about? If so, what might some of those facts be about?

3. What is it to have a belief? Are there beliefs about important topics, and beliefs about ordinary and even trivial topics? What are some examples of each?

4. What is it for a belief to be true? What is it for a belief to be false? Answer with examples.

5. Can someone have a true belief, but that belief is merely a lucky guess, and not knowledge? Why or why not? Please answer with examples.

6. Could someone have a reasonable, well-justified belief that is false? (They, of course, don't realize it's false). Why or why not? Please answer with examples.
