A defect in Gettier counter examples?

(Originally written September 21, 2006 in Book 8)

IV. 2 An alleged defect in Gettier Counter Examples

Richard Feldman

Gutter's counter examples have been criticized because they fail due to the belief being based on false propositions. People who criticize this way then accept knowledge as being a justified true belief. But Feldman concludes that other counter examples can be given to show that one can reason from proposition 1 which they now to be true to proposition 2 (also known to be true) to the truth "A", but not have any knowledge of A.
