No. As soon as you start using quotes it changes things. As I said earlier, I've packed as much as possible within the belief statement. Leaving it ou...
If by "true" you mean being the result of a valid inference, then sure. He believes that at the moment he accepts Q. Otherwise, Smith's belief is C1. ...
That notation is as formal as it can be, as far as I know. I've packed as much as possible within the belief statement. Note that C1 leaves out "is tr...
I'm not even understanding what you're trying to say... I've put forth Smith's thought/belief process... p1. ((p) is true) p2. ((p v q) follows from (...
Ah. There it is once again. The conflation of being true and being called "true" as the result of being the conclusion of a valid inference. Validity ...
Yes. I know what it is. The full text of Case II preceding his conclusion that Smith is justified in believing Q is below. It warrants very careful at...
p1. ((p) is true) p2. ((p v q) follows from (p)) p3. ((p v q) is true if either (p) or (q) is true) C1. ((p v q)) is true because (p))(from p1,p3) Fil...
Don't get into it... ;) Thought/belief has not been adequately represented by the whole of philosophy. That's another thread in it's own right, althou...
It matters because the only way that Smith can arrive at belief that:((p v q) is true) is via belief that:((p v q) is true because (p)). The argument ...
He uses it to move justification from p to q. I think. It is the deduction in his formula, and he makes a point to note that Smith makes that deductio...
The argument I'm presenting isn't my argument per se. Rather, it's an adequate account of what Gettier says that Smith does, as compared/contrasted to...

Smith cannot arrive at belief that:((p v q) is true) with a single deduction. Gettier's formulation for Smith's arrival at belief that:((p v q) is tru...
On the way to belief that:((p v q) is true), Smith forms/holds belief that:((p v q) is true because (p)). That is a necessary step in the thought/beli...

Salva veritate Smith cannot get to belief that:((p v q) is true) without ((p v q) is true because (p)). Belief that:((p v q) is true) is not equivalen...
