Ideas of Hilary Kornblith, by Text

[American, fl. 2001, At the University of Vermont. Then professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst]

2001	Internalism and Externalism: a History

p.2	p.2	4254	Externalist accounts of knowledge do not require the traditional sort of justification
			Full Idea: What is distinctive about externalist accounts of knowledge is that they do not require justification, at least in the traditional sense.
			From: Hilary Kornblith (Internalism and Externalism: a History [2001], p.2)
			A reaction: At least this gives animals the chance to know things, but I suspect that they never get beyond true beliefs. I'm sure humans have 'better' knowledge than animals.
