Externalism(Philosophy of linguistics): The view that the forms of actually attested expressions — sentences, phrases, syllables, and systems of such units — are the proper object of linguistic inquiry
Gettier cases(Epistemology): Cases that appear to refute the justified true belief (JTB) analysis of knowledge, named in honour of the philosopher who contributed them to the literature
KK-reliant skepticism(as used in epistemology): A philosophical position that uses the 'KK principle' (the idea that if you know something, you must also know that you know it) to argue that we can't really know anything, because we can never be certain we know things in this way.
epistemology(Contrasted with purely descriptive scientific inquiry): A normative enterprise that tells us how we ought to reason from evidence and how we ought to justify our beliefs, as distinct from merely describing how we do reason or justify beliefs
