Knowledge and the Gettier Problem (Paperback)

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.
But that orthodoxy has generated the Gettier problem -
epistemology's continuing struggle to understand how to accommodate
Gettier's apparent result within an improved conception of
knowledge. In this book, Stephen Hetherington argues that none of
epistemology's standard attempts to solve that problem have
succeeded: he shows how subtle yet fundamental mistakes - regarding
explication, methodology, properties, modality, and fallibility -
have permeated those responses to Gettier's challenge. His fresh
and original book outlines a new way of solving the problem, and an
improved grasp of Gettier's challenge and its significance is the
result. In a sense, Plato can now embrace Gettier.
