Edmund Gettier is an American philosopher best known for his work in epistemology, particularly for presenting a challenge to the traditional definition of knowledge. In 1963, he published a brief but influential paper titled "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" In this paper, Gettier presented a series of thought experiments that demonstrated cases where individuals had beliefs that were both true and justified, yet intuitively did not qualify as knowledge.
