Excellent paper by Professor Gettier! Say farewell to epistemology in the 'analytic' tradition'.
And they continue to waste their time. Scientists and people who try to acquire knowledge in everyday life ignore this literature.
'The controversial Norman Malcolm?' What's that supposed to mean?
I'm reminded of a joke I heard in 1969. A man goes into a coma in 1953, shortly after Eisenhower was inaugurated as US President. He comes out of the coma in early April of 1969, looks out the window, and sees the American flag at half staff. He asks why the flag is at half staff and is told "President Eisenhower just died." He replies, "Then that bastard Richard Nixon is President!" An excellent example of a Justified True Belief, since Nixon was President at that time. JHobson2 ( talk) 13:48, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
According to my professor, who was a colleague of Gettier, Wikipedia's backstory about the history of the Gettier article is wrong. The article Gettier published in Spanish is not the famous one ("Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?"), but is a distinct article. And it was *that* article (and not the famous one) that Gettier wrote at the urging of his colleagues (because he didn't have enough articles to get tenure). Finally, there is a third paper as well, in some collection on personal identity. So it's not true that he has published nothing else. I don't have a written source to refer you to, but we should at least delete the current version of the backstory, given that no citations are provided to corroborate it. 69.125.56.180 ( talk) 15:16, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

I take it Gettier is pronounced "Getty-A"? 172.56.26.205 ( talk) 05:49, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
I was one of Ed's students, and his last name is pronounced "Getty-urr". 174.21.104.75 ( talk) 00:50, 8 November 2020 (UTC) Dick Benson
Yes, the family uses Getty-urr". 146.6.208.24 ( talk) 18:14, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
I can't find any sources that claim he died, but someone updated the article to say that. 72.209.38.247 ( talk) 14:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
