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

19682	Internalists are much more interested in evidence than externalists are [McGrew]
	Full Idea: The notion of evidence generally plays a much more significant role in internalist epistemologies than it does in various forms of externalism.
	From: Timothy McGrew (Evidence [2011], 'Prop..')
	A reaction: I'm guessing that this is because evidence needs a certain amount of interpretation, whereas raw facts (which externalists seem to rely on) may never even enter a mind.
