Abstract
Keith Lehrer’s theory of knowledge has undergone considerable transformation since the original version he presented in his 1974 bookKnowledge[2]. Among the original elements of the theory, belief has been replaced by acceptance, subjective probability by reasonableness, the doxastic system by the acceptance system, and beating competitors by answering objections. New elements, such as the preference system and the reasoning system, have been added. These changes have enhanced the depth and plausibility of the theory.
