Edmund Gettier's famous paper published in 1963 was entitled :

  • A.Justified true belief is not knowledge
  • B.Knowledge cannot be defined
  • C.Is justified true belief knowledge ?
  • D.Why is justified true belief knowledge ?

Answer: C

Gettier's 1963 paper was entitled 'Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?'.

Published in Analysis, the three-page paper gave two counterexamples in which a person has a justified true belief that is true only by luck, and so does not know. It launched the 'Gettier problem' of finding a fourth condition for knowledge.

The other titles are invented: the paper's thesis was that justified true belief is not sufficient for knowledge, but it was posed as a question, and it did not argue that knowledge cannot be defined.
