Description
Define the Classical definition of knowledge and state what Gettier tries to prove about it in his paper. What is the main point? Gettier introduces two assumptions that he thinks his readers will accept as true. What are they? How does assumption 1 relate to Case 1 of Gettier's paper? How does assumption 2 relate to Case 1? Explain how Gettier purports to prove his decision, his argument. Do you think Gettier succeeds in proving his point? Justify. Do you think the JTB account can be fixed in light of Gettier's counterexample? If so, explain how. What is your conclusion about the "requirements" for knowing that something is true?
