Gettier DESTROYS Plato...or did he_

Edmund Gettier is famous for revolutionizing the field of Epistemology (the study of knowledge) in the 20th century. But the story behind this modern philosophical myth turns out to be a bit messier than it seems. What does it appear in textbooks? This series Philosophy of Life and Sleeping Ideas begins our exploration of the field of epistemology by deciphering the history and meaning of the particular episode. This in the history of philosophy.
In this episode, we talk about Gettier's Problems - the problems that Edmund Gettier identified in his so-called tripartite theory of knowledge - that knowledge is truly justified belief - said to be of Plato. Attributing views to Plato is always a difficult task, but in this volume we see that in this case it is unconscionable.”
