The Gettier Problem: Can we have good reasons to believe it but still just be lucky?

We can believe whatever we want for whatever crazy reason we want and we might get lucky and be right. In order to say we know something, it seems like we should be justified in believing it--but, is that enough? Philosopher Edmund Gettier points out that we might be justified in believing a true thing, but still not know it.

I'm a first-year philosophy student and have just found your videos. Just wanted to say thank you! Really helped me understand epistemology! :)

Dude. I’ve just started a course and these are great. Changing coins to a $20 makes it somehow far simpler, too

Instead of, ``Smith who i know`` or ``That guy will get the job``.
Which is something i believe most people would say or think
