In episode one, I introduce Plato's Projects, a philosophy podcast, and myself, the public philosopher James Graf. The episode begins an 11-episode series revealing the solution to the Gettier Problems, which have stumped my fellow epistemologists (i.e. philosophers of the theory of knowledge) since 1963.


These episodes thus provide a workable analysis of knowledge; they answer the question of how to analyze knowledge into a list of conditions that must be met for a person to *know* something, rather than to merely believe it  - a project worked on since the time of Plato. 


In the first 11 episodes I deliver in audio form the full text of my upcoming book, Knowledge By Acceptance: A New and Practical Means of Identifying Knowledge. This is the first book in an intended 3-book series to construct a complete theory of knowledge. This first episode also explains how I set out to write this book and its book series. 


Regarding the podcast, I explain how, after the first 11 episodes, I intend to use this podcast as a workspace to discuss the philosophical ideas of any philosophers, living and dead, that I suspect might be helpful to my larger project of developing consensus-ready theories of the true and the good – the very projects Plato himself took up, giving shape to philosophy ever since.
