Plato thought that three conditions must be met in order for us to “know” something: the notion in question must actually be true; we must believe it (because if we do not believe something that is true, we can hardly claim that we know it); and, most subtly, it must be justifiable – there must be reasons why we believe the notion to be true.
柏拉图认为“了解”事物必须满足三个条件：所涉概念必须是真实的；我们必须相信（因为如果我们不相信这是真实的事物，就很难说得上了解）；还有最微妙的一点就是必须合理——我们必须有理由相信概念的真实性。
