Abstract

Characterizing Gettier cases as failures of probabilistic relevance matching, and knowledge as tracking, we can explain the nature and value of knowledge simultaneously. Avoidance of gettierization has the independent value of improving understanding of why p is true, and relevance matching gives a theory of understanding as distinct from knowledge.
