Kafka's philosophy: "Performative Epistemology"
He assumes that we can know things and proves by contradiction that we, in fact, can't know anything. He offers an idea that we can know by assertion (he's also right here.) But someone says that's not what it means to say you don't know. It's that your standards are never adequate enough. He says it is, epistemology is praiseworthy, and we should grant someone the right to be sure if they deserve it. But that's wrong generally, because even a true belief where you seem to have the right to be sure is wrong, because of cases in which you are a lucky guesser. But still, if you were in another world, you'd have gotten it wrong, so really that doesn't hold. But yet it does - so actually you'd need some reliable method. This would eliminate epistemically irresponsible cases such as wishful thinking, idee fixes, and the like. But why did we reject granting justification (for praise) to the guy who's aware of his true belief? What about just saying any unconscious beliefs could grant justificatory status?
