Summary/Abstract: Edmund Gettier single-handedly changed the course of epistemology in the latter half of the twentieth century through two counterexamples against the classical conception of knowledge. This note is primarily concerned with the implicit assumptions underlying the counterexamples that Gettier adduced to prove the insufficiency of the dominant description of knowledge dating back to Plato.
