Full Idea
In the Gettier case of deductive justification, what we have is a separation between the source of the justification and the truthmaker for the belief.
Gist of Idea
Gettier deductive justifications split the justification from the truthmaker
Source
Anand Vaidya (Understanding and Essence [2010], 'Distinction')
Book Ref
-: 'Philosophia' [-], p.815
A Reaction
A very illuminating insight into the Gettier problem. As a fan of truthmakers, I'm wondering if this might quickly solve it.
