Thank you for the explanation!! I was really struggling to understand Gettier's point, while understanding what he was elaborating, until you talked about Goldman, and only there I could find some relatabilty :)) Thank for explaining everything so consisely and effectivly, this should absolutely get more views!!
I think after Descartes, the discussion and debate as to the definition of knowledge becomes overly complicated. The casual connections mandated by Goldman mean nothing if we can't even trust our perceptions to give us an accurate representation of the external world. A theory of knowledge must begin with un understanding of the limitations of the knower. That which we think we know is always filtered by the mind.
Well said! I read a nice text by Mark Kaplan not too long ago who basically rejected the whole project of solving the Gettier problem. Because even if someone solved it, it would be of no practical use to us whatever. The text is called, "It's Not What You Know That Counts" if you're interested.
