Abstract |
The term “Gettier Case” is a technical term frequently applied to a wide array of
thought experiments in contemporary epistemology. What do these cases have in common? It is
said that they all involve a justified true belief which, intuitively, is not knowledge, due to a form
of luck called “Gettiering.” While this very broad characterization suffices for some purposes, it
masks radical diversity. We argue that the extent of this diversity merits abandoning the notion
of a “Gettier case” in a favour of more finely grained terminology. We propose such
terminology, and use it to effectively sort the myriad Gettier cases from the theoretical literature
in a way that charts deep fault lines in ordinary judgments about knowledge.
