Analysis of Knowledge and Information

This course introduces the concepts of knowledge and their formation and acquisition methods. The initial units discuss the concept of knowledge. After having seen the definition of knowledge as justified true belief and its criticism (the Gettier problem etc.), we argue about the sharing of knowledge in light of theories of meaning from the viewpoint of relativism and its criticism. The subsequent units introduce three ways of thinking about knowledge formation from the viewpoint of embodied cognition and discuss them in light of recent research trends. The last units introduce methods of knowledge representation and acquisition based on informetric models, focusing on the interrelations between knowledge, information and data. (1)Definition of Knowledge: Classic Definition (Yokoyama)

(2)Definition of Knowledge: The Gettier Problem (Yokoyama)

(3)Sharing of Knowledge: Relativism 1 (Yokoyama)
