Is it true that Gettier problems can be resolved by assuming JTB as the formal definition of truth?

No. Gettier problems cannot be resolved by assuming the traditional Justified True Belief (JTB) account of truth; rather, Gettier's counterexamples famously demonstrated that JTB is inadequate because it allows justified true beliefs to be true merely by epistemic luck.

Verdict: REFUTED · 0 sources for, 3 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature universally agrees that Gettier problems expose a fundamental flaw in the Justified True Belief (JTB) account, showing that JTB is insufficient for knowledge rather than serving as a resolution. Papers [1], [2], and [6] directly refute the notion that JTB solves Gettier problems, explaining instead that Gettier's counterexamples broke the classical JTB paradigm and necessitated additional conditions (or alternative frameworks) to address epistemic luck. No papers support the claim.

Post-Gettier Accounts of Knowledge
2012
The chapter outlines how Edmund Gettier's influential 1963 article illustrated that justification on its own (and the traditional JTB framework) is not enough for knowledge, prompting post-Gettier accounts rather than resolving them via JTB.

Kritik Edmund Gettier terhadap Paradigma Epistemologi Justified True Belief (JTB)
2026
The study examines the collapse of the Justified True Belief (JTB) paradigm in epistemology in the face of epistemic luck and Gettier problems, showing that JTB fails as a reductive analysis of knowledge.

The Inescapability of Gettier Problems
2020
The chapter argues that Gettier problems are inescapable for any definition of knowledge that relies on justified true belief where the connection to truth is not completely inviolable, demonstrating that assuming JTB does not resolve them.
