Fish starts off his essay by stating that there are three things that oppose rhetoric. "First, between a truth that exists independently of all perspectives and points of view and the many truths that emerge and seem perspicuous when a particular perspective or point of view has been established and is in force" (HB, 1611L). Here, Fish is stating that the first opposition is truth that exists outside of bias and perspective (Doll, Lueders and Morgan, 2006). The second opposition according to Fish is "an opposition between true knowledge, which is knowledge as it exists apart from any and all systems of belief, and the knowledge, which because it flows from some other system of belief, is incomplete and partial (in the sense biased)" (HB, 1611L). This means truth that exists outside of bias and perspective (Doll, Lueders and Morgan, 2006).

However, as simple as it seems to use these words, philosophers still haven’t managed to define knowledge in an adequate way, which will be able to cover all the controversies hidden behind it. Frequently, it is argued that knowledge is justified true belief. However rational this might seem at a first sight, there exist situations in which this definition fails to meet the criteria that will make it adequate for a definition of knowledge, as I will explain further on in this essay. The most widely known definition of knowledge as justified true belief (JTB) is the tripartite definition, a definition based on three conditions, truth, belief and justification. This definition -as its name suggests- consists of three parts and is expressed further on : S knows that P IFF (i) P is true (ii) S believes that P, and (iii) S is justified in believing that P There are many problems that arise from this definition.
