    theory defines knowledge as ‘justified true belief’: S knows that P if and only if (i) P is true, (ii) S believes that P, and (iii) S is justified in believing that P. Each of these three conditions (truth, belief, and justification) is necessary for knowledge, and altogether they are jointly sufficient for having knowledge. As a counter to JTB, Edmund Gettier posed a serious challenge when he introduced the Gettier problem. The Gettier problems are cases of situations in which a person has a justified true belief that fails to be knowledge. Lets look at one case. Smith and Jones both applied for a job. The company president told Smith that Jones would…

    Solving the Gettier Problem American philosopher Edmund L. Gettier challenges the way knowledge is analyzed in his famous 1963 paper “Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?” Gettier writes two cases in his paper, which illustrate that knowledge is more than just true belief and justification.

Knowledge…

    Is there a difference between justified true belief and knowledge? For the philosopher Plato, these terms defined knowledge, until the philosopher Edmund Gettier proposed the contrary. Gettier suggested the knowledge is more than true justified and belief, so according to Gettier Plato’s theory does not define knowledge, because true, belief and justification can be satisfy. However, it does not exactly mean knowledge. Knowledge from my point of view is more complex than what Plato proposed. In…

    The mystery of what embodies "knowledge" is as old as philosophy itself. The Gettier Problem, refuting the JTB (justified true belief) account, has been a historical and on-going debate in the epistemological field. In simplistic terms, knowledge is understood as an awareness or understanding of something, such as facts, information, descriptions or skills, which are acquired through experience, perceiving, discovering, learning or intuiting. Consequently, truth is understood as a verified or…

Looking externally and seeking to fix others was not nourishing for me and often left me feeling hopeless, dissatisfied, and depressed. These are the negative effects of the drama…
