On "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" (1963) by Edmund Gettier, "What Is Justified Belief?" (1979) by Alvin Goldman, and "The Inescapability of Gettier Problems" (1994) by Linda Zagzebski.
What is knowledge? Even if a belief is true and justified, does that make it knowledge? Gettier came up with exceptions, and other philosophers tried to figure out how to revise "justification" to rule these out.

Thanks yall! Inspired me to read Gettier. I thank Gettier for pointing out this fault in logical epistemology. By this point, Quine was working on his Twin Dogmas and Logical Positivism has been struggling as a movement if not mostly dead by this point. To me, Gettier represents the epistemological schism that came from that. To me, a pragmatist, you are just casting words (in this case “knowledge”) arbitrarily for whatever scenarios you deem importing to include or exclude (Gettier Cases). I appreciate our analytical friends doing the nitty gritty and I’m fucking glad I don’t have to 😇(again, im a pragmatist)

I'm really curious of the justification claim that the person who gets the job has 10 coins in his pocket. If my justification is because I have good evidence to believe John has 10 coins in his pocket and I have good intel that he will get the job. Then how do I have justification that the person will have 10 coins in his pocket if someone else gets hired?
