13. Knowledge Criteria / A. Justification Problems / 1. Justification / b. Need for justification

2140	True belief without knowledge is like blind people on the right road [Plato]
	Full Idea: Don't people who have a correct belief but no knowledge strike you as exactly like blind people who happen to be taking the right road?
	From: Plato (The Republic [c.374 BCE], 506c)
	A reaction: Good. I love the style of this. Most philosophical points can be made in one concise sentence, and it is only the industry of journals and academe that forces points to be extended so much.
