The epistemic view

The epistemic view focuses on understanding what justifies our beliefs and how we can know something is true. It emphasizes the importance of rational justification—reasons and evidence—behind our convictions. According to this perspective, knowledge is more than mere true belief; it requires that our beliefs are supported by good reasons, evidence, or logical reasoning. Essentially, the epistemic view seeks to clarify how we differentiate between beliefs that are genuinely well-founded and those that are not, aiming to explain the nature of justified, reliable knowledge.
