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.
