| | Theory of justification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Theory of justification is that part of epistemology that attempts to understand the justification of statements and beliefs. | | | In part this is because of the influence of the Theaetetus account of knowledge as "justified true belief". | | | The theory of justification attempts to answer questions such as "What is justification?" or "When is a belief justified, and when not?" |

| | Hume’s theory of knowledge is foundationalist, as is Descartes’, except that he allows the possibility of inductive arguments that link the foundations and superstructure. | | | Deductive justification: consequences of justified beliefs are justified | | | The only means of justification of superstructure beliefs is by deduction from established foundations. |

| | Polycentric Justification |
| | The account of justification given here does resemble another sort of moral relativism, however; the sort Gilbert Harman defends as no more than "a soberly logical thesis about logical form."[42] Harman claims that morality arises among people who come to an agreement or understanding about their relations with one another. | | | A justification cannot float about as a disembodied universal given, for nothing in the noumenal realm has the power to accept or reject it. | | | The means of change specified by the principle of justice in transfer preserve justice."[36] By analogy, whatever is justified with respect to a social organization is also justified with respect to individuals for whom that social organization's representation is justified. |

| | Coherence, Certainty, and Epistemic Priority |
| | I shall say nothing about the coherence theory of truth except that the arguments offered in its support all seem to me to presuppose the coherence theory of justification. | | | There is no logical inconsistency in asserting that someone has a false belief which he cannot rationally doubt and which he is not in a position to correct; consequently there is no inconsistency in asserting that expressive judgments are indubitable and incorrigible, while at the same time granting that some of them may be false. | | | Some of his arguments are apparently intended to show that, if I now judge, for example, that it looks as if I am seeing something red, I shall never at any time in the future be justified in revoking this judgment. |

| | In this situation, Alphonse's belief that there is an apple in front of him is surely justified -- he does not realize that he is myopic, and his ignorance is not culpable -- but he does not have knowledge. | | | Nevertheless, no belief is justified independently of its relation to other beliefs; for in order to be justified, a belief must be produced by a process that tends to produce beliefs in relevant counterfactual situations, and relevance is always determined, in part, by an agent's beliefs. | | | This is perfectly respectable belief-forming process, but it is not adequate for justification unless it tends to produce true beliefs in both actual and relevant counterfactual situations. |

| | The Coherence Theory of Truth |
| | Someone might hold that coherence with a set of beliefs is the test of truth but that truth consists in correspondence to objective facts. | | | It simply refers to the bearers of truth values, whatever they may be.) According to one, the relation is coherence, according to the other, it is correspondence. | | | Idealists do not believe that there is an ontological distinction between beliefs and what makes beliefs true. |

| | OBSERVATION, COHERENCE, AND JUSTIFICATION |
| | A framework of beliefs comprising an account of the world is justified (for a given person) at a given time if and only if it is the most coherent total account of the world available (to that person) at that time. | | | I am now also in a position to say a bit more in answer to the objection, discussed toward the end of section five, that a coherence theory of justification could not choose between at the very least a quite large number of alternative coherent accounts of the world. | | | And if such a reason is to be relevant to the question of knowledge (rather than religious faith, patriotic commitment, etc.), it seems that it would have to be a reason for thinking that propositions which meet the criterion in question are more likely to be true than those which do not. |

| | Australian Naturalism and Its Critics |
| | By this definition, most traditional theories in epistemology, such as foundationalism and coherentism, are internalist accounts since they hold the view that "the justification-making properties of any justified belief must be epistemically internal to the mind of the subject who holds that belief" (Sosa, 1985, p. | | | This means that there is no basic belief or foundation for the justification of knowledge. | | | Haack's argument for foundherentism might be thought of as similar to their version of naturalistic coherentism. |

| | Notes to Foundationalist Theories of Epistemic Justification |
| | Foundational knowledge or justified belief has also been called by foundationalists direct knowledge (justification), immediate knowledge, intuitive knowledge (justification); and the truths known have been referred to as self-evident truths, directly evident truths, self-presenting truths, and the given. | | | Though more complicated that a causal theory of knowledge, Nozick's (1981) "tracking" account of knowledge also allows a distinction between beliefs which noninferentially track facts and beliefs which inferentially track facts. | | | This last locution "the given" is, however, ambiguous as between truths that are said to be known directly and facts or features of the world that are said to be immediately "before" consciousness. |

| | The Theory Ladeness of Observation |
| | An internalist theory of justification might require that adequate justification for your belief about the time includes belief contents which taken together would deductively entail your belief about the time. | | | That is, observation claims are justified solely in terms of observation and not in terms of statements of scientific theory. | | | Since observation statements contained only words defined in terms of observation and logical vocabulary, observation statements were claims whose truth or falsity could be determined by observation alone, without appeal to theory. |

| | Jakob Friedrich Fries |
| | From the Neoplatonic (and perhaps Aristotelian) doctrine that God only knows universals, Hegel produced the modern totalitarian idea of the state, where the individual as such is "abstract" and irrational -- only the State, as the historical expression of Geist, "spirit" or "mind," is real and rational. | | | Fries' most important contribution to the Kantian tradition is his theory of justification and the manner in which he addresses the paradoxes of Kant's Transcendental Deduction. | | | Because Fries thought that the empirical and a posteriori critique was psychological in nature, it became commonplace to accuse him of what was called "psychologism," which we may take to be the doctrine that human knowledge merely reflects the forms of the human mind, the structures that the human psyche imposes upon the world. |

| | This also means that I explicitly link my theory of justification to a theory of perception, rather than attempting (as do virtually all current foundationalists) to give a theory of justification while trying not to make any commitments to a theory of perception. | | | This allows me to advance a nonrepresentationalist account of justification based upon direct realism. | | | Second, antifoundationalists have argued that foundationalism fails because the perceptual given is either theory-laden, inferentially constructed, or noncognitive. |
