>For some time, the justified true belief (JTB) account was widely agreed to capture the nature of knowledge. However, in 1963, Edmund Gettier published a short but widely influential article which has shaped much subsequent work in epistemology.

>Consider an example. Suppose that the clock on campus (which keeps accurate time and is well maintained) stopped working at 11:56pm last night, and has yet to be repaired. On my way to my noon class, exactly twelve hours later, I glance at the clock and form the belief that the time is 11:56. My belief is true, of course, since the time is indeed 11:56. And my belief is justified, as I have no reason to doubt that the clock is working, and I cannot be blamed for basing beliefs about the time on what the clock says. Nonetheless, it seems evident that I do not know that the time is 11:56. After all, if I had walked past the clock a bit earlier or a bit later, I would have ended up with a false belief rather than a true one.

My secondary major at UMass Amherst was philosophy. My philosophy professors would occasionally mention Gettier and they hold him in relatively high esteem. I could never figure out if it was because he's brilliant or because they're jealous. Probably both.

This is actually one of those rare cases of progress in philosophy

Gettier cases are based. I cried a little in fear and desperation as I was learning about them, watching my world vanish before me. But no, it didn't bring down epistemology, it only showed that JTB is not the same thing as true knowledge.

at least continental philosophy is F U N

What was your reasoning behind using quote arrows in a post that does not actually contain a quote?

Why do you presume so much about something you've never read? I find analytic inquiries into ontological and epistemological matters to be quite fun. Analytic philosophy is the biggest pleb filter of all time.

>> No.9365819

>>9365796
There are many fun pursuits in life. Sex, for instance. Why would you choose continental philosophy, of all things? Or any philosophy at all, for that matter? Just seems like the epitome of autism.
