The concepts are linked because the Gettier problem serves as a critical counterexample to the traditional tripartite definition of knowledge, which requires justification as a necessary condition [1]. Various epistemological frameworks, such as reliabilism and virtue epistemology, attempt to resolve the Gettier problem by refining or re-evaluating the role of justification in the acquisition of knowledge [2], [3], [4].

claimConventional virtue epistemology (VE) utilizes the resources of virtue epistemology to address standard questions in contemporary Anglophone epistemology, such as providing analyses or definitions of knowledge and justification, solving puzzles like the Gettier problem and the lottery problem, constructing counterexamples, and confronting the skeptic.
claimA Gettier case is constructed by starting with a belief that meets the justification condition for knowledge, adding an element of bad luck that would normally prevent the belief from being true, and adding a dose of good luck that cancels out the bad luck so the belief ends up true.

claimA priori knowledge consists of beliefs that are true, justified a priori, and not 'gettiered'.
claimReliabilism asserts that justification is not necessary for knowledge, and that reliably produced true belief is sufficient for knowledge, provided the notion of reliability is refined to rule out Gettier cases.

claimThe Gettier problem demonstrates that it is possible for a belief to be both justified and true, yet still fail to constitute knowledge because the truth of the belief relies on luck.
