Gettier’s cases, arguments, intuitions, thought experimentsAbstract
The article investigates whether arguments or intuition are the decisive factor in how people evaluate Gettier’s cases. It surveys competing positions in the debate between advocates of intuition-based assessment and those who emphasize argumentation. In contrast to prior quantitative studies on the evaluation of thought experiments, I report a qualitative study that probes the conscious reasoning processes involved in judging Gettier cases and the potential shifts in those judgments over the course of reflection.
