13. Knowledge Criteria / A. Justification Problems / 1. Justification / a. Justification issues

3752	Justification can be of the belief, or of the person holding the belief [Bernecker/Dretske]
	Full Idea: There is a distinction between a person being justified in holding a belief, and the belief itself being justified.
	From: Bernecker / Dretske (Knowledge:Readings in Cont.Epist [2000], Pt.II Int)
