Knowledge Theory
Knowledge Theory explores the nature of knowledge, focusing on how we acquire it and what justifies our beliefs. Empiricism emphasizes that knowledge comes from sensory experience, while Internalism holds that justification for beliefs must come from within an individual's mind, accessible to their reflection. In contrast, Externalism argues that factors outside a person's awareness can justify beliefs. Together, these perspectives examine the sources, justification, and limits of human knowledge, shaping our understanding of what it means to know something and how we can differentiate true beliefs from mere opinions.
