Up: The Gettier Problem: Justified
Previous: Defeasibility Condition
The Gettier problem was a monkey wrench thrown into the works of the
long standing definition of justified true belief. There have been several
attempts to patch the definition of justified true belief. However, most
of these patches have been too weak or too strong. The one to make best use
of common sense to patch up the Gettier-style problems has been the
Defeasibility Condition; although this one too has it's pitfalls.
