Gettier Problem

Imagine you're absolutely certain about something you know. But what if that certainty is built on a fluke? Welcome to the Gettier Problem, a philosophical conundrum that challenges our very understanding of knowledge. In 1963, Edmund Gettier shook the foundations of epistemology with a simple question: Can a belief be both justified and true, yet not count as knowledge? This mind-bending puzzle forces us to reconsider what it truly means to "know" something. As we dive into this fascinating problem, we'll explore how a seemingly innocent scenario can unravel centuries of philosophical thought. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about knowledge itself.
