Belief and knowledge

Abstract

Belief and knowledge. – This paper deals with the problem of contingency. The essence of contingency in itself is not something contingent. In order to be able to encounter something as contingent, we have to encounter the essential necessity, comprehend the essential necessity. But this encountering is not something we have as an explicit knowledge; rather it functions as the visibility of something as something. Without grasping this visibility, every knowing is a mere knowledge missing the important binding and being contingent. We are trying to show that this issue is crucial in the field of education as well.
