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. As a side note: when I refer to the term “justification,” readers should know that justification is different from one person to another. Also, justification can change throughout time (Mason, “D. 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 Gettier problem, in the field of epistemology, is a landmark philosophical problem with our understanding of knowledge. Attributed to American philosopher Edmund Gettier, The Gettier Problem challenged the long-held notion that justified true belief was knowledge. In the account of JTB, to have a proposition show knowledge one must have met all 3 conditions (Justification, truth, and belief). The Gettier Problem challenged this with two counter examples showing that some have justified true…
Farnsworth disposed of the fly ash into the back lot that is a permeable landfill, which was given a Type III classification and that meant it was any unprepared land area used for waste disposal. However; after the complaints of some of the residents in the area, due to some people treating the landfill as a general dump, the DNR told Farnsworth to dispose of the fly ash into a Type II landfill. Problems with the Present Situation The problems with disposing our fly ash into a Type II landfill…
the problem to resolve next (Accenture, 2011, High Performance Delivered Section). This worked well for them because they were able to quickly fix the issues that Vorne discovered. The main problem Accenture dealt with was identifying the cause of the production delays. Vorne was able to provide this information and give insight on how to improve the production time most efficiently. Our company, Salomon, could benefit greatly from using a system like Vorne because it would be able to identify…
all their problems are getting solved as soon as possible. This is a good thing for the employers too, because now the whole company is on the same topic and if there is a problem it can be solved right away. However this can be a negative thing for workers. They may think it’s too large of a step and that may create shyness where no one wants to talk. Communication This problem tags along with the tall structure problem. This is a problem because they have so many levels where so much can be…
Problems are a normal thing that happen through one’s life. These problems can be easily terminated depending on who it’s affecting and what the problem is about. But not all problems can be solved easily. In fact, some problems may aren’t solved as easily as others and can make everyday tasks harder than usual. These problems can be emotional, cognitive, developmental, social, and even physical addiction. Some of these problems require professional guidance if you need help solving them. For…

In developing an understanding of both Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) and Narrative Therapy (NT), a shared emphasis on the importance of language, as the basis for implementing change within the lives of clients, can be seen as a commonality between the two therapy methods. Similarly, Herbert Goldenberg and Irene Goldenberg (2013), note the resemblance of narrative therapy to solution-based therapy in that each has the goal of assisting the client with developing an “alternative story” (p.…
