The Gettier Problem
“A well-supported belief can be true only by accident.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
Gettier cases challenge the definition of knowledge as justified true belief. The justification seems connected to the truth in a way that leaves too much epistemic luck.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
You glance at a stopped clock at exactly the time it displays and form a true belief without knowing the mechanism failed.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
The problem proves neither that knowledge is impossible nor that one accepted repair exists.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
Beyond support and truth, ask whether the belief arrived at truth through a reliable connection.
