Consider the following argument:
- The best accounts of "x knows p" are conjunctive, i.e., of the form R1(x,p) & R2(x,p) & ... (with at least two conjuncts).
- Therefore, probably, knowledge is a conjunctive concept. (See this post and this one)
- No conjunctive concept is natural.
- Therefore, knowledge is not a natural concept.
Alternately, one could claim that knowledge
is a natural concept, and hence the best accounts of "
x knows
p" are false.
