My issue with gettier scenarios isn’t about the level justification, but the extent to which we specify our belief. In a lot of these scenarios, if the person was just a little more specific, then JTB would rule it out as not being knowledge. This is more a problem of language.

I agree. Smith's ACTUAL belief is that Jones will get the job because of the company president giving that impression, and independently of that, he believes Jones has 10 coins in his pocket. Smith doesn't believe that ANY man with 10 coins in their pocket is a candidate for getting the job. The "man" in Smith's belief that "the man who has 10 coins in his pocket will get the job" is simply Jones. Within context, Smith believes a thing that isn't true: That Jones who has 10 coins will get the job.

What about in the case of hallucination? I see something blue cross my window, I form the belief that something blue crossed my window. In reality what I saw was simply a hallucination but at the exact time of my hallucination it just so happened that a blue bird flew past my window (I didn’t see this bird). What is the language issue here? Or how about the example of the clock? The clock shows that it is 2 pm, you form the belief that it is 2pm; it happens to be 2pm, the clock is infact broken and has been stuck at 2pm for a year.

@@dylangoddard7449 With the first scenario, it can be fixed in one of two ways: either you specify exactly what it was that you saw cross the window eg its speed, location, velocity, size, and with enough detail it makes it distinct from the bird so it wouldn’t be true; or the perception was too fleeting with non-corroborating stimuli, in which case it wouldn’t be justified. With the clock, you can specify that your belief not only includes the correct time, but also a functional clock, so now it’s not true. Basically, my issue is that when we say “I believe X” we are not merely communicating that single belief, but additional beliefs on which X is contingent. So knowledge of X isn’t really about a single belief, but a whole class of beliefs, which isn’t obvious from the statement “I know X”. It’s an issue with language, rather than JTB.

@@dylangoddard7449 I’ve also had that concern, but I wouldn’t say it reduces us to nothing. At a certain point, the level of specificity exceeds our perception or understanding, and no further specificity would be necessary. If a gettier case presses up against that limit (as your blue bird example nearly does), then it’s unlikely to be justified. It also only rules out _certainty_ , which for claims of a posteriori knowledge, I’m willing to bite the bullet. I doubt gettier cases would have as much weight against claims of a priori knowledge.

It is reasonable because I already have access to information that deer are hit by vehicles. It is also possible the deer died from a disease, old age, an aneurysm, etc. I don't care about claims of possibility that I don't already have a frame of reference for.

The job example: Smith's ACTUAL belief is that Jones will get the job because of the company president giving that impression, and independently of that, he believes Jones has 10 coins in his pocket. Smith doesn't believe that ANY man with 10 coins in their pocket is a candidate for getting the job. The "man" in Smith's belief that "the man who has 10 coins in his pocket will get the job" is simply Jones. Within context, Smith believes a thing that isn't true: That Jones who has 10 coins will get the job. The clock example: Smith's ACTUAL belief is that the particular clock on the wall is a functioning clock that is keeping accurate enough time. Smith does not point out that he believes that every clock works, or that clocks are never showing correct time by chance. Smith's belief about that particular clock is not true, and therefore not justified true belief. It's somewhat justified wrong belief. The problem is resolved just with describing the full belief and not just a part of it. The fire example: The person's ACTUAL belief is that the swarm is smoke, and that the "smoke" comes from a fire. This is not true, and is therefore not justified true belief. It's somewhat justified wrong belief. I don't see the big problem this causes to epistemology... It's word games. But what do I know, I'm not a philosopher.

Also, there seems to be an unstated underlying assumption that knowledge is immuable and black or white; but our understanding of reality is constantly evolving and our theories have degrees of confidence attached to them, which might include a degree of uncertaincy. For example, in history, we have to evaluate the quality of our sources, and it is rarely 0% ou 100%. In physics, a theory may depend on the quality of the experiment (people, tools, etc.).

Great video. However, I see a little problem in it. If you define knowledge by being JTB, then there is no Gettier inconsistency. The latter arises when you compare the JTB kind of knowledge to an intuitive understanding we have on what is 'knowledge'. But this intuitive concept is not defined. And neither are 'true' nor 'justified'. Which may lead us to the relationship between science and knowledge.

Prresumably and demonstrably there are shades or degrees of knowledge, with certainty at one end of the scal and belief at the exact opposite end If I experience pain, that is as either knowledge or it is not; I do not b-e-l-i-eve that I am experiencing pain, and by that measure Gettier got himself in such a muddle as to be proposing nonsense- sounds good but means nothing. Either knowledge is direct immediate personal experience or it is nothing. Try this test: I know as I know whatever -possibly pain, or I " know" *as* I know that the thing on the end of my left leg is my left foot, or as Iknow when I am in pain, both of which are direct immediate personal experience, for if it is not direct immediate personal experience it cannot be knowledge from which it follows that belief of any kind is something *short* of knowledge, but I suppose that Gettier's assertion was his best and wholly inadequate stabat defining knowledge for he did not propose and sensible measure or comparator. ansent wich his proposition is no more than a vague stab in the dark. t

What, no. None of those were examples of JTB without knowledge. You cannot justify a belief with an unjustified belief. The man looking at the clock did not justify his belief that the clock was functional and correct. At best he had a reasonable good faith belief that it was 3'oclock. The man who thought he saw smoke did not have a JTB, because his assumption that what he saw was smoke was not justified. Further he unjustly assumes that if something is on fire it is his farm. At best he can say he believes that the odds of his farm being on fire now are higher than usual.

Yes many have pursued this line of reasoning to show that Gettier cases don't truly defeat the JTB analysis, the most famous of them being Nozick. They are called externalists since they believe that the nature of justification has to do with how well your beliefs track the truths of the external world. Some radical externalists go so far as to say that you can never be justified in believing a false proposition. However, they all fell short of their goal. All of them. Everytime one of them presented his analysis, a new Gettier case was presented that showed that they were wrong. Today the consensus among philosophers, be they externalists or not, is that Gettier cases prove that knowledge does not equal JTB and that the enterprise of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for knowledge is not the right way to think about the nature of knowledge.

@@Christopher_Gibbons Yes that's not the usual definition of justification. What you described is called "soundness" in logic and indeed a soundly deduced proposition is irrefutable. As a side note, some philosophers of math deny the law of excluded middle and therefore do not accept proof by contradiction as a valid proof technique, but it's not a popular view. 'Justification' is a more elusive term which is why people debate over its nature. For instance, were those humans in the pre-scientific age who believed that the Earth was flat because that's how it appeared to them everywhere they went justified in having that belief? If you're an internalist, you might answer yes. If you're an externalist, you might answer no. The debate between internalism vs externalism on justification still rages on. Either way, both have shown to be dead-ends when it comes to linking justification with knowledge.

Here is a different case with the same kind of example: A farmer wakes up and looks outside. He sees a cow and thinks "my cow is outside". What he doesn't know is that it's a statue of a cow which he mistakes for his cow. In reality his cow is behind the barn, still outside. Now the problem is this: The farmer believes his cow to be outside, which is true. His justification is what is lacking. His justification is him seeing a statue. So while his belief is true, it is true by coincidence. It's not justified quite in the way we would want true beliefs to be justified. I hope this helps =3.

Someone in a room with no windows will not have knowledge by this metric, neither someone trusting a broken clock. Problem solved, you are welcome.

The "Smith and Jones" example was WAY too complicated to explain this. There are plenty of much more easily grasped examples you could have used.

I'm a layman, but I've always thought the solution to the Getter Problem should be distinguishing between two different types of "knowledge". I think there is real-world knowledge - Things you have such a strong reason to believe that you are almost 100% certain about, even if there is always an infinitesimal chance you are wrong. And the second type of knowledge being true knowledge - Knowledge you know for absolute certain, and it's impossible to even conceive another explanation. This knowledge isn't actually possible to obtain, but still necessary to distinguish.

it seems you just want to define knowledge as justified belief, that isn't necessarily true. but if you had a justified belief, that you found out is false, would you really say you _knew_ that? your second definition seems just to mean truth, and isn't defined by anyone actually knowing it.

I mean... you definition of the "true" knowledge already make it something that cannot exist. For a start, 100% certainty is physically impossible because there is no unchangeable physical state -> hence the brain cannot have 100% certainty. Then there is the basic logical issue that it's impossible to find reasoning for every last assumption. Hence the use of assumptions which we just assume as true without further reasoning. Finally, how is any of this a "solution"? Using your approach, I would end up saying "nobody has true knowledge so nobody can know anything" - a statement that stands in a self contradiction, as it proclaims to be true, while saying nothing (including itself) can truly be known. And ofcourse we got the practical issue that we are using the word "knowledge" and have certain associations with it and part of philosophy is figuring out those unspoken associations in hopes of getting a general and clear term.

Poor Gettier, no wonder his paper /idea never caught on and got filed under circular(or just poor) Gettier is not pronounced as that creature pronounces it; she would probably pronounce 'trait' - another shibboleth to identify the uncultured , to rhyme with gate rather than tray.

Lmao, imagine thinking you can prescribe to people when their knowledge is 'rightfully called knowledge'. Does your mental model of the world work in its desired way? If yes: Congrats, continue what you're doing, if not: you might want to change it FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. The key here is that you have your own reasons for wanting what we can call knowledge. If my knowledge doesn't line up with the JTB idea why should I care?

Hard to see how anyone could be a " victim" of an essential capability, but discrimination has acquired an unfortunate gloss, and gone from being a virtue to being a vice precisely because of a lack of discrimination
