Gettier Problem (Chap. 5)

There seem to be some instances of true justified belief which aren't knowledge.

p.82 (Smith's belief) "Jones is the man who will get the job and Jones has 10 coins in his pocket"

above entails

"the man who will get the job has 10 coins in his pocket"

above true justified but not knowledge

Reality: Smith will get the job

Smith has 10 coins in his jacket.

False justified belief entails true, justified belief.

Prof. B owns a porche <--- justified but false

above entails
someone in PHL 202 has a porche

Justification must be in the right way.

Solution 1: Your justification can't be caused by or based on a false belief.

Joan will win the election for body president

This belief is still justified and true through based on false belief.
