Plato regarded knowledge as a true belief well supported by evidence. Philosophers believe that Plato's view was disproved by Edmund Gettier in 1963. But - this book argues - philosophers do not yet understand Gettier's result, let alone knowledge. A new approach is proposed: in a sense, Plato can now embrace Gettier.

* Presents a philosophically original conception of knowledge, at odds with some central tenets of analytic epistemology * Offers a dissolution of epistemology s infamous Gettier problem explaining why the supposed problem was never really a problem in the first place.
