full_question: A Platonic dialogue concerning this concept includes the anatomically-bizarre image of a "wind egg" deflating upon a failed childbirth after Socrates compares himself to a midwife for ideas. Plato's working definition of this idea is cited as a precursor to those of A.J. Ayer and Roderick Chisholm, as rebutted in a three-page 1963 paper. The idea that this concept is equivalent to "perception" is rejected in Plato's Theaetetus, which later tries to define it as "belief with an account" and "true belief with an account." For 10 points, name this mental ability questioned in the only notable paper of Edmund Gettier, whose definition as "justified true belief" is mostly rejected by a subfield of philosophy that studies it called epistemology.
