Description

The Gettier Problem has been at the heart of epistemological debates for over fifty years. In 1963, Edmund Gettier's paper presented a powerful challenge to the traditional view that knowledge is equivalent to true belief supported by adequate evidence. This led to significant refinements in various epistemological theories. This volume brings together twenty-six experts to examine the issues arising from Gettier's challenge. The contributors offer diverse perspectives on the role of intuition, false beliefs, and luck in understanding knowledge. Their collective examination sets the agenda for future work on the central problem of epistemology. Explaining Knowledge provides a comprehensive analysis of the Gettier Problem and its implications for our understanding of knowledge.
