13. Knowledge Criteria / C. External Justification / 1. External Justification

4254	Externalist accounts of knowledge do not require the traditional sort of justification [Kornblith]
	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.
