Abstract

“Where have you been?” I expect philosophers to ask me this when I tell them that this paper is on the Gettier Problem. I found it difficult to participate in the discussion of the problem until now because instead of wanting to consider what could be done to revive the project of identifying necessary and conditions for knowledge after the apparent damage done to it by Gettier counterexamples, I wanted to question the legitimacy of the project itself. However, I have come to believe that the real issue raised by Gettier’s argument is how certain logical entailments, such as Existential Generalization or Disjunctive Addition, can be relied upon to generate the objects of actual (justified) belief. Because of this change in perspective, I believe that I have something to say that is specifically about his argument.
