Edmund Gettier’s “Problem,” a counter-example to the philosophical definition of knowledge, has provided an interesting perspective to contrast Plato’s long-existing original interpretation. I do not believe it is an all-encompassing argument, however, and I have selected a solution from those listed that I believe provides a passable explanation of Gettier’s proposal. The solution suggests that, in addition to the criteria set forth by Plato, there should be a fourth idea- a “fill in the blank.” One idea suggested is that there cannot be a competing true proposition, loosely known as a “defeater.” In philosophical terms, I believe this is a strong element of the solution, adding an important fact that should be considered. For the clock example, this fact was that had the person known the clock to be broken, he/she wouldn’t have been justified in reaching their conclusion. In this sense I think the defeater provides a black-and-white end to the justification, thus ending the chance for knowledge. In contrast, it seems there are a number of angles from which these “Gettier Problem” solutions view the word “knowledge.” In the clock example, the person studying in the library knew from a first person point of view that the time was 2:10. In their mind, based on all of their experience, the time was correct. The aforementioned proposed solution gives the impression of viewing the knowledge of the actual time from a third person point of view. Therefore, I consider one weakness of this solution to be that it doesn’t adequately provide a concrete explanation of which viewpoint is correct. In other words, it assumes that the third person viewpoint is exclusive. For discussion’s sake, one step further can be taken: do events that occur in the future factor in to whether the person knew it was 2:10 when he/she looked at the clock? For example, if the person had at a later time some other means to verify that it was 2:10 when it was 2:10, would that person then be considered to have had the knowledge when they viewed the clock at 2:10?
