ABSTRACT
It is generally accepted that there is some kind of anti-luck condition on knowledge such that: when one knows, one’s cognitive success (i.e., one’s true belief) is not a matter of luck. Call this the anti-luck platitude. 1 Almost all epistemologists accept this platitude, at least in some form (Pritchard 2005). One of the core morals of the Gettier-style cases is that the justification condition as it is traditionally understood—i.e., as part of the traditional, or tripartite, account of knowledge as justified true belief—does not suffice to exclude cases of knowledge-undermining luck (Gettier 1963). After all, in the Gettier-style cases while the subject does have a justified true belief, her belief is only true as a matter of luck. 2
