13. Knowledge Criteria / B. Internal Justification / 5. Coherentism / a. Coherence as justification
23029 Knowledge is secured by the relations between its parts, through differences and identities [Green,TH, by Muirhead]
     Full Idea: What gives reality and stability to our knowledge is the reality and stability of the relations established between its parts..…by the differences and identities with other things which have similarly achieved comparative fixity and substantiality.
     From: report of T.H. Green (Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation [1882]) by John H. Muirhead - The Service of the State I
     A reaction: Although I don't sympathise with Green's idealist metaphysics, and nevertheless think that this internalist account of knowledge is correct.
