13. Knowledge Criteria / B. Internal Justification / 4. Foundationalism / d. Rational foundations

16903	Justifications show the ordering of truths, and the foundation is what is self-evident [Frege, by Jeshion]
	Full Idea: Frege thought that the relations of epistemic justification in a science mirrors the natural ordering of truths: in particular, what is self-evident is selbstverstandlich.
	From: report of Gottlob Frege (Grundlagen der Arithmetik (Foundations) [1884], §02) by Robin Jeshion - Frege's Notion of Self-Evidence 1
	A reaction: I'm not sure that I can accept a 'natural ordering of truths'. Is there a natural ordering of the facts of the world? The most I can see is a direction to causation. Maybe inferences have a direction, but humans intrude on those.

13. Knowledge Criteria / E. Relativism / 3. Subjectivism

	Full Idea: One vision is produced by both eyes
