6150	The 'warrant' for a belief is what turns a true belief into knowledge [Merricks]
	Full Idea: The 'warrant' for a belief is that, whatever it is, that makes the difference between mere true belief and knowledge.
	From: Trenton Merricks (Objects and Persons [2003], §7.II)
	A reaction: Hence a false belief could be well justified, but it could never be warranted. This makes warrant something like the externalist view of justification, a good supporting situation for a belief, rather than an inner awareness of support for it.
