Belief and knowledge

(May 6, 2013 at 10:21 pm)ChadWooters Wrote: Of course there is always the Electra paradox. Electra says she knows Cicero, but she does not know Tully. Tully and Cicero are actually the same person by a different name. So does she know Tully?

Knowing a person and knowing the name(s) of a person are different things. Lewis Carroll covered it along with two other possibilities, that which we call the person and that which we call the name of the person.
