Gettier's analysis critiques attempts to identify necessary and sufficient conditions for knowledge. He argues that these attempts fail to capture the complex nature of what it means to know something and that there can be instances where someone has a belief that is both necessary and sufficient for knowledge but is not actually knowledge. Therefore, the attempts to formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for knowledge are unsuccessful.
