Reread Nodrog's scenario, JonnyB. The belief is true. But the reason that he has the belief is unrelated to the truth of the belief. But no, this still isn't considered knowledge. That's a simple - though rather abusive - Gettier counterexample to the traditional JTB analysis of knowledge.

I'm reading Alan Gibbard's Thinking How to Live.

Philosophy for life.
