Consistency and shifts in Gettier cases

Stephens, Andreas LU orcid (2021) In Logos & Episteme: an international journal of epistemiology 12(3). p.331-343
Abstract
Two Gettier cases are described in detail and it is shown how they unfold in terms of reflective and reflexive desiderata. It is argued that the Gettier problem does not pose a problem for conceptions of knowledge as long as we are consistent in how we understand justification and knowledge. It is only by reading the cases with a reflective understanding of justification but a reflexive understanding of knowledge, without acknowledging that this takes place, that the cases become ‘problems.’
