THE FAILURE OF CABBOLET’S FOURTH CONDITION FOR KNOWLEDGE (pages 351-355)

John Ian K. BOONGALING

ABSTRACT: This paper critically examines Cabbolet’s JTB+S account, in particular his proposed fourth condition for knowledge: S’s justification for believing that p must be sufficient to exclude ¬p. Since Cabbolet’s proposed fourth condition: (1) does not eliminate Gettier cases, (2) leads to either skepticism or triviality, and (3) suffers from internal inconsistency, I argue that Cabbolet fails to: (4) provide a satisfactory account of knowledge, and (5) provide a correct solution to the Gettier Problem.
