ABSTRACT
This chapter attempts to show the reason why two major epistemological schools, namely dogmatism and scepticism, have failed to solve the problem of objective knowledge the justified true belief account of knowledge used to develop their theories of knowledge. To this objective, the following issues are addressed: (a) the meaning of the idea of knowledge as justified true belief, (b) how dogmatic epistemology solves the problem of objective knowledge and (c) the position of sceptic epistemology in regard to the problem of objective knowledge. The first chapter concludes that it is justificationism that prevents their epistemology from overcoming the problem of objective knowledge.
