Well, all I meant was that there are times I am aware of things. I have awareness, I am aware of this - I think therefore I am. Therefore there are times when I know of things. Because I don't see any difference between knowledge and awareness.

And my point was that I don't see how any of my knowledge can be justified. How can I know why am aware of things?

Quote:You must have some concept of what it takes for a belief to count a knowledge?

If I am aware of the thing that I believe in, then that belief counts as knowledge.

My above point isn't meant to justify itself, that would be circular reasoning. My above point is simply that we're either aware of something or we're not. And if we are, then it's knowledge. Maybe I can't know when I know something?
