Description: Knowledge and the Gettier Problem by Stephen Hetherington Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Plato regarded knowledge as a true belief well supported by evidence. Philosophers believe that Platos view was disproved by Edmund Gettier in 1963. But - this book argues - philosophers do not yet understand Gettiers result, let alone knowledge. A new approach is proposed: in a sense, Plato can now embrace Gettier. Publisher Description Edmund Gettiers 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 - epistemologys continuing struggle to understand how to accommodate Gettiers apparent result within an improved conception of knowledge. In this book, Stephen Hetherington argues that none of epistemologys 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 Gettiers challenge. His fresh and original book outlines a new way of solving the problem, and an improved grasp of Gettiers challenge and its significance is the result. In a sense, Plato can now embrace Gettier. Author Biography Stephen Hetherington is Professor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. His publications include Epistemologys Paradox (1992), Good Knowledge, Bad Knowledge (2001) and How To Know (2011).
