True
The truth condition requires the proposition to be factually
accurate
What do Gettier problems demonstrate about the tripartite view of knowledge?
It is not sufficient
What does belief require in the tripartite view of knowledge?
Acceptance of the proposition
What is the key issue with justification in Gettier problems?
It is based on luck
Match the alternative approach to knowledge with its description:
Reliabilism ↔️ Belief formed through a reliable process
Contextualism ↔️ Justification standards vary by context
Virtue Epistemology ↔️ Knowledge requires intellectual virtues
Order the steps in combining insights from different approaches to knowledge:
1️⃣ Identify weaknesses of the tripartite view
2️⃣ Explore alternative approaches
3️⃣ Evaluate strengths and weaknesses
4️⃣ Combine insights for a nuanced understanding
The first condition of the tripartite view is that the proposition must be
true
Gettier cases are situations where a person has a justified true belief, but it is still not considered
knowledge
Virtue epistemology argues that knowledge requires intellectual
virtues
What is the key issue with Gettier problems in relation to the tripartite view?
Luck-based justification

True
The tripartite view of knowledge defines knowledge as justified true
belief
Justification in the tripartite view requires evidence to support the
belief
Gettier problems present situations where justified true belief is not considered
knowledge
What is the primary goal of alternative approaches to knowledge?
Address Gettier problems
