Comment 1

"seek"?

Comment 2

Not sure I understand?

Comment 3

No, this is only one of three conditions of knowledge.

Comment 4

Careful - infallibility isn't the same thing as being sure (you can be wrong while being sure you're right, but if you're infallible you're never wrong).

Comment 5

Is that right? Not sure I understand. I would have thought that for Ayer, if you know something then you also know how you know it (since you have earned the right to be sure).

Comment 6

I'm not sure I understand.

Comment 7

I'm not sure I fully see what you are getting at here?

Comment 8

What's the connection between maths and perception here? I don't quite follow.

Comment 9

Yes, this is crucial. These are his three conditions of knowledge; they should be introduced at the start. 

Comment 10

You have some good things to say about Ayer, but there is significant room for improvement here. I don't think a reader who didn't already know about his theory would come to understand how it works. There are various passage where I just don't fully understand what you are trying to say (see comments), and the paper would benefit from a clearer structure that begin by giving his three conditions of knowledge, then explaining why the third one was problematic, and taking it from there.  C+
