"Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?"

The phrase "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" explores whether simply believing something that's true, and having good reasons for that belief, qualifies as knowledge. Traditionally, philosophers argued that knowledge must meet three conditions: it must be a belief, that belief must be true, and there must be justification for the belief. However, this framework was challenged by cases like the Gettier problems, which show situations where these criteria are met, but we still hesitate to call it knowledge. The debate continues on what actually constitutes knowledge beyond just justified true belief.
