According to this way of thinking, we can know, for example, that we are human because [1] we believe ourselves to be human; [2] that belief is justified (others treat us as humans, not as dogs); and [3] the belief is true. This definition, which dates to Plato, was challenged by Edmund Gettier in one of the most influential works of philosophy published in the last century - a three page paper that produced two clear examples of justified true beliefs that could not, in fact, be considered knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGettier's achievement rests on solid foundations provided by his mastery of the critical thinking skill of analysis. By understanding the way in which Plato - and every other epistemologist - had built their arguments, he was able to identify the relationships between the parts, and the assumptions that underpinned then. That precise understanding was what Gettier required to mount a convincing challenge to the theory - one that was bolstered by a reasoning skill that put his counter case pithily, and in a form his colleagues found all but unchallengeable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macat Library","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616452460695,"sku":"9781912302987","price":1660.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781912302987.webp?v=1775113485","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-analysis-of-edmund-gettiers-is-justified-true-belief-knowledge-9781912302987","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
