Since the publication of Edmund Gettier's 1963 paper "Is \;Justified True Belief Knowledge?\," a central epistemological issue has been \;the problem &ndash\; known as the "Gettier problem" &ndash\; of supplementing or replacing \;the traditional tripartite theory of knowledge\, by developing a theory of \;the nature of knowledge not subject to counterexamples of the sort described \;in that paper. In addition to a vast literature explicitly devoted to this \;task\, the Gettier problem has impacted numerous other areas: the \;internalism / externalism debate about epistemic justification\, the question \;of the value of knowledge\, and work on epistemic intuitions and \;philosophical methodology (among other areas). This conference\, \;commemorating the 50th anniversary of the publication of Gettier's landmark \;paper\, will bring together leading researchers to reflect on the Gettier \;problem and its legacy.
