The truthmaker solution to the gettier problems [PDF]

EPISTEMOLOGIA, 2015
A truthmaker solution to the Gettier problems is based on the idea that knowledge can be defined as justified true belief provided that the source of one’s justification is suitably connected with what makes the believed proposition true. Different developments of this basic intuition have been recently criticized on the basis of a series of arguments ...

Gettier Problems

1994
AbstractThis chapter examines Gettier's objections to defining knowledge as justified true belief – the so‐called Gettier problems. In response to these objections, a distinction is drawn between two kinds of justification. A person can be justified in coming to believe that p if he has been epistemically responsible in doing so.

The Inescapability of Gettier Problems

The Philosophical Quarterly, 1994
This chapter argues that any definition of knowledge as true belief + x will be subject to Gettier-style counterexamples as long as the connection between x (justification, reliability, proper function, etc.) and getting the truth is close but not inviolable. The recipe for generating a counterexample uses the idea of double luck.

The Gettier Problem

2015
In 1963, Edmund Gettier published an article containing two brief fictional stories, each intended to disprove a well-entrenched philosophical definition of knowledge. His article had a striking impact among epistemologists: a subsequent plethora of articles and sections of books gave us the broader concept of a Gettier case.

Induction and the Gettier Problem

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 1992
In the more than quarter century since Gettier published "Is Knowledge Justified True Belief?"'" the attempts to resolve the so-called Gettier problem have been numerous and disastrous. By this point the inductive evidence is almost irresistible that the next proposed solution will similarly fail.

On the Gettier Problem problem

2006
Abstract It took about ten years for people to get the idea that there was something wrong with the Gettier Problem. By the early 1970s, a number of analyses had been offered to accommodate Gettier’s (1963) counter examples to the traditional ‘JTB’ view: Michael Clark’s (1963) simple no-false-lemmas proposal, various ‘indefeasibility ...

Sed ubi Socrates currit? On the Gettier Problem before Gettier

2017
Medieval philosophers presented Gettier-type objections to the commonly accepted view of knowledge as firmly held true belief, and formulated additional conditions that meet the objections or analyzed knowledge in a way that is immune to the Gettier-type objections.

Knowledge and the Gettier Problem

2016
Edmund Gettier's 1963 verdict about what knowledge is not has become an item of philosophical orthodoxy, accepted by philosophers as a genuine epistemological result. It assures us that - contrary to what Plato and later philosophers have thought - knowledge is not merely a true belief well supported by epistemic justification.
