 Another kind of arguably surprising type of result from experimental epistemology concerns “Gettier cases”, and in two distinct ways: first by suggesting the Gettier “intuition” (viz., that the subject lacks knowledge in standard Gettier cases), is highly sensitive to cultural background (Weinberg, Nichols, &amp; Stich 2001). In particular, Weinberg et al.’s (2001) study reported results indicating that laypersons with East and South Asian cultural backgrounds were inclined (more so than those with Western backgrounds) to attribute knowledge in standard Gettier cases. This paper generated debate about the philosophical import of these results, and led to further related studies. Perhaps most notably, this includes a 2017 study by Machery et al. which presented evidence that the Gettier intuition was present across four cultures speaking different languages: Brazil, India, Japan, and the USA.
