Summary/Abstract: The question of the possibilities of certain knowledge forms the basis of discussions on knowledge in traditional epistemology. Some have been instrumental in sceptical discussions in epistemology, with the idea that certain information is possible and impossible. However, the condition of knowledge in contemporary epistemology is linked to faith, truth and justification. Gettier argues that certain knowledge cannot be obtained from these conditions. According to him, justification is insufficient for knowledge and there may be fallibility even in justified cases. Then the central problem of contemporary epistemology is the idea that how the right belief is transformed into knowledge and the justification methods cannot remove the possibility of misinformation from all sides for all possible situations. Our aim is to discuss the adequacy of epistemic justification in Gettier's thinking and the possibility of eliminating the fallibility in knowledge for all possible situations.
