Types of knowledge. The tripartite definition. Gettier’s critique.Abstract
The present text has as its object the tripartite definition of knowledge as justified true belief, as presented in Plato’s Theaetetus and hegemonically understood by contemporary analytic epistemology, and its criticism by Edmund Gettier in his article “Is justified true belief knowledge?”. The goal is to reflexively expose fundamental introductory considerations about both. In order to do this, first we will distinguish three types of knowledge, highlighting the propositional as the one present in the tripartite definition and in Gettier’s criticism; secondly, we will expose the structure of the tripartite definition, its parts, the relationship between them, the pre-theoretical intuitions present in them and what they exclude; finally, we will present Gettier’s critique, highlighting its assumptions, structure, reasons and purposes.
