    Justification

    The reasoning and evidence that support knowledge claims. Justification explains why we should accept something as knowledge—through logical argument, empirical testing, expert consensus, or other means.

    Key Questions

    • What justifies accepting this as knowledge?
    • Are some types of justification stronger than others?
    • How much justification is enough?
    • Can something be justified but still wrong?
