13. Knowledge Criteria / A. Justification Problems / 3. Internal or External / a. Pro-internalism

21771	Consciousness derives its criterion of knowledge from direct knowledge of its own being [Hegel]
	Full Idea: In what consciousness affirms from within itself as being-in-itself or the True we have the standard which consciousness itself sets up by which to measure what it knows.
	From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Phenomenology of Spirit [1807], p.053), quoted by Stephen Houlgate - An Introduction to Hegel 03 'The Method'
	A reaction: This seems to be a very close relation of Descartes' 'clear and distinct conceptions'. This certainly places Hegel in the Rationalist camp.
