When philosophers try to understand the nature of knowledge, they
have to confront the Gettier problem. This problem, set out in
Edmund Gettier's famous paper of 1963, has yet to be solved, and
has challenged our best attempts to define what knowledge is. This
volume offers an organised sequence of accessible and distinctive
chapters explaining the history of debate surrounding Gettier's
challenge, and where that debate should take us next. The chapters
describe and evaluate a wide range of ideas about knowledge that
have been sparked by philosophical engagements with the Gettier
problem, including such phenomena as fallibility, reasoning,
evidence, reliability, truth-tracking, context, luck, intellectual
virtue, wisdom, conceptual analysis, intuition, experimental
philosophy, and explication. The result is an authoritative survey
of fifty-plus years of epistemological research - along with
provocative ideas for future research - into the nature of
knowledge.
