  Clarence Irving Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clarence Irving Lewis (April 12, 1883 - February 3, 1964) was a pragmatist philosopher.
Born Stoneham, Massachusetts, Lewis was educated at Harvard University, studying logic under Josiah Royce, and taught there from 1920 until his retirement in 1953.
Alongside his work in epistemology and ethics, Lewis was a supporter of bayesian probability and a pioneer of modal logic.

 Clarence Irving Lewis [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Lewis was given the job and although the task of arranging and cataloguing the papers ultimately passed to others, the two years he spent on that task gave Lewis the final building blocks for his mature epistemological position which he would call conceptualistic pragmatism.
Lewis rejected the "scandal" of emotivism and noncognitivism and directed much of his late thinking to two tasks: demonstrating that valuation is a species of empirical knowledge and establishing that there are valid nonrepudiable imperatives or principles of rightness.
Lewis argued that evaluations are a form of empirical knowledge no different fundamentally from other forms of empirical knowledge regarding the determination of their truth or falsity, or of their validity or justification.

 The Pragmatic Element in Knowledge
[Lewis begins by listing the ingrediates of which our knowledge is formed: the perceptual, the conceptual, and the imposition of the conceptual form on the perceptual content which he calls the "act of interpretation." In this respect, it is obvious the Lewis begins from a "Kantian" starting point.]
Lewis first establishes that the pragmatic conception of knowledge presupposes an active mind, and is in this sense like idealism.
As I have suggested, the validity of this general type of conception can be tested by studying the nature and importance in knowledge of the pragmatic element of interpretation, and its relation to the other two, which we may refer to as "the concept" and "the given" respectively.

 Edmund Gettier -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
In his article, Gettier challenges the "justified true belief" definition of knowledge that dates back to Plato's Theaetetus.
This account was accepted by most philosophers at the time, most prominently the epistemologist Clarence Irving Lewis and his student, Roderick Chisholm.
Gettier's article definitively refuted this account, though some would say that the validity of this definition had already been put into question in a general way by the work of Wittgenstein.
