Edmund L. Gettier III (born October 31, 1927 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American philosopher and Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is best known for his short 1963 paper, "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?," which generated an enormous philosophical literature trying to respond to what became known as the Gettier problem.
Gettier was educated at Cornell University, where his mentors included Max Black and Norman Malcolm. Gettier, himself, was originally attracted to the views of the later Ludwig Wittgenstein. His first teaching job was at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where his colleagues included Keith Lehrer, R. C. Sleigh, and Alvin Plantinga. Because he was short on publications, his colleagues urged him to write up any ideas he had just to satisfy the administration. The result was a three-page paper that remains one of the most famous in recent philosophical history. According to anecdotal comments that Plantinga has given in lectures, Gettier was originally so unenthusiastic about the paper that he wrote it, had someone translate it into Spanish, and published in a South American journal. The paper was later published in the United States. Gettier has since published nothing, but he has invented and taught to his graduate students new methods for finding and illustrating countermodels in modal logic, as well as simplified semantics for various modal logics.

Is knowledge the same as justified true belief? In this Wireless Philosophy video, Jennifer Nagel (University of Toronto) discusses a Gettier case, a scenario in which someone has justified true belief but not knowledge. We’ll look at a Gettier case from Edmund Gettier’s famous 1963 paper on this topic, and a structurally similar case from 8th century Classical Indian philosophy.

This video presents and explains several versions of the Gettier problem. Furthermore, it explains the failure of one popular response (the "no false belief/grounds" response) to solve the problem. Other responses and their shortcomings are covered in the sequel to this video. Enjoy.
Three cases to motivate the question and Gettier's conclusion.
discussion about the short article published in Analysis in the early 1960's that changed epistemology for good.
A brief description of the Gettier Problem (the claim that justified true belief is insufficient for knowledge) and one of the thought experiments involved.
Edmund Gettier's objection to "Justified true belief" as a definition of knowledge, in which the man who gets the job (Mr.Jones) fits the requirements of TAK. However, one cannot say that he "knew" he was going to receive the position. YOU'VE BEEN GETTIERIZED!!

Sergei Artemov, “Constructive knowledge” Logic Colloquium 2015, Helsinki http://www.helsinki.fi/lc2015/materials/slides_artemov.pdf The constructive approach considers a proposition true only when there is a conclusive proof of it. This leads to the Brouwer-Heyting-Kolmogorov semantics and a variety of intuitionistic logic systems. Likewise, constructive knowledge is viewed as a result of verification, not necessarily producing an explicit proof of what has been verified. Since conclusive proofs can serve as verifications, constructive truth, under the natural assumptions that the corresponding conclusive proof is available and recognized as such, yields constructive knowledge. Within the framework of intuitionistic logic augmented by the “knowledge modality” K this can be formulated as t...

Gettier problem The Gettier problem is a philosophical question about whether a piece of information that happens to be true but that someone believes for invalid reasons, such as a faulty premise, counts as knowledge.It is named after American philosopher Edmund Gettier, who wrote about the problem in a three-page paper published in 1963, called "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?". -Video is targeted to blind users Attribution: Article text available under CC-BY-SA image source in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4ujte2EwJ0
An explanation of the "No False Lemmas" response to the Gettier Problem and a demonstration that the problem will reassert itself via the Barn Facade thought experiment.
Folk epistemology.
In this episode we explore the roles of domestic animal husbandry and glass blowing in the rise of Enlightenment astronomical theories. Mark decides to derail the show with an historic Who’s Who pop-quiz of Hellenic science before we get to the work of philosopher Thomas Kuhn via his relationship with Edmund Gettier (see a previous episode) and Errol Morris. Pro tips: Philosophers who were also physicists know how to throw projectiles, the Bible included instructions on the scientific method, the Earth has always been round*, and Paco definitely wasn’t cosplaying that one time. *NB: Oblate Spheroid Subscribe in iTunes here: http://apple.co/1TjPgag Subscribe via RSS here: http://youvegotitallwrong.libsyn.com/rss Visit us at: www.youvegotitallwrong.net Email us at: feedback@youvegotitallwr...
In this second lecture on the Gettier problem, I canvass four popular attempts to define "knowledge." We begin with the "conclusive reasons" account and the alternative "contextualist" account offered by Fred Dretske. And we also cover the course of the development of Alvin Goldman's "reliabilism." Lastly, Gilbert Harman's "defeasibility" account of knowledge is presented and explained in detail.
How do we know what we know? Turns out the greatest minds in philosophy weren’t really sure. One guy who went to school with the Allen brothers’ Dad may have pulled a fast one on Plato and laughed all the way to the bank. Or did he? Find out how elephants, Bruce Lee, Doctor Who, and Donald Rumsfeld help us understand what we know we may know. Maybe. But there was a cow. We can be sure of that. Perhaps.

There's a program running in the background of your mind that drives almost all of your behavior, and that's called your "philosophy". Your philosophy is made up of all the beliefs and assumptions that you have about the world. Many of these beliefs and assumptions are never questioned, just followed - sometimes blindly. We dive into that philosophy that drives our decisions and actions in this episode. It might require your thinking cap, but it could be door you were looking for to help you create and accept change in your life. Visit http://theoverwhelmedbrain.com/
