Post-Gettier epistemology is increasingly modalized epistemology -
proposing and debating modally explicable conditionals with
suitably epistemic content (an approach initially inspired by
Robert Nozick's 1981 account of knowledge), as needing to be added
to 'true belief' in order to define or understand knowing's nature.
This Element asks whether such modalized attempts - construed as
responding to what the author calls Knowing's Further Features
question (bequeathed to us by the Meno and the Theaetetus) - can
succeed. The answer is that they cannot. Plato's and Aristotle's
views on definition reinforce that result. Still, in appreciating
this, we might gain insight into knowing's essence. We might find
that knowledge is, essentially, nothing more than true belief.
