In Plato’s Apology Socrates is being tried by Anytus and Meletus for two new charges: “corrupting the young, and not acknowledging the gods of the city acknowledges, but new daimonic activities instead” (Morgan 2005, 51). Throughout Plato’s Apology and Euthyphro Socrates uses complex rhetoric to challenge the charges brought against him based on his thoughts and understanding of what is right and wrong. He never once states he is not guilty nor does he provide reasons to support his innocence. He

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.
