Description

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Philosophy, History and Sociology of Law, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This paper discusses various aspects of internalist approach to knowledge and justification. Furthermore, the paper acknowledges that internalism has both strengths and weaknesses in relation to understanding various aspects of epistemology. Internalism/externalism discussions are central elements in the field of contemporary epistemology. These debates aim to answer the fundamental questions on the basic nature of epistemic justification and knowledge. Basically, internalism encompasses justification which is a result of internal factors to a person. On the other hand, externalists claim that justification should also be determined by factors which are external to the debate. Determining what is internal to the person has thus become central aspect of the internalism/externalism debate.
