The "philosophy of knowledge," also known as "epistemology," is a branch of philosophy that examines the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge, investigating what constitutes "knowing" something, how we acquire knowledge, and the reliability of different sources of information like perception, reason, and testimony; essentially, it asks fundamental questions about what it means to truly "know" something.

Russell did not use the stopped clock example as a counterexample to Gettier — in other words, he did not consider it an instance of a justified true belief that fails to count as knowledge. Instead, he regarded it as a case of a true belief that, despite being true, does not qualify as knowledge because it lacks the appropriate justification.
