The concept of knowledge is a concept formed and operated by active beings who need to direct their activity. This, according to Craig, explains two features associated with the concept of knowledge: (1) the fact that we want true beliefs (for if we are genuinely to direct our activity, we must have true beliefs about the consequences of such and such an action or inaction), and (2) the fact that we actively seek the truth and therefore try to ‘track’ it, rather than merely hoping to hit it.
