Greetings. I'm a student at uni, taking mathematical logic and some other jazz this semester. I'm a Wittgensteinian.

My blog is at A weedy florilegium. It's really quite worthless. It's really just a repository for my rambling and nonsense, but if you're interested, etc.

@nerdfiles,
Welcome to the forum nerdfiles. I stopped over at your blog, saw the KTB (I know it as the JTB--justified true belief) and Gettier-cases and stopped. I took an epistemology class that hit on the subject, and my class mates drove me mad from that point on. I did look on and it looks rather interesting. You may have just inspired me to start posting notes and summaries on a blog as I go through my classes. Anyway, feel free to join in on a discussion currently in progress or throw out some new food for thought.

@Theaetetus,
Excellent. Glad to have passed off the idea of posting class notes to a blog. I'm not really sure of the benefit of it myself, other than having an easy note/archive system.

But yes, the Gettier problem does capture much of my attention. JTB is the popular definition of knowledge. My initialism is more a play on words of the "JTB" initialism. Since my thesis is "Knowledge is True Belief" I figured I'd use "KTB" to stand for "Knowledge as True Belief."

Thanks for the warm greeting.
