Abstract

In this paper we analyse the requirements for a redefinition of knowledge that would block all the Gettier-like counterexamples raised against the traditional definition of knowledge. For this purpose we provide a classification of all the possible Gettier-like counterexamples. We claim that this classification is exhaustive because it lists all the logical representations of the Gettier-like counterexamples. This enables us to define a Gettier-like counterexample and suggests a definition of knowledge that would not allow counterexamples of such a sort. Our approach is proof-theoretical, i.e. our formal representation of a Gettier-like counterexample is proof-theoretical and, hence, our definition is in line with it.
