A Conspicuous Art: Putting Gettier to the Test

Turri, J. (2013). A conspicuous art: putting Gettier to the test. Philosophers' Imprint, 13(10), 1–16.

Professional philosophers say it’s obvious that a Gettier subject does not know. But experimental philosophers and psychologists have argued that laypeople and non-Westerners view Gettier subjects very differently, based on experiments where they tend to ascribe knowledge to Gettier subjects. I argue that when effectively probed, laypeople and non-Westerners unambiguously agree that Gettier subjects do not know.
