13. Knowledge Criteria / C. External Justification / 10. Anti External Justification

8852	In the context of scepticism, externalism does not seem to be an option [Williams,M]
	Full Idea: In the peculiar context of the skeptical challenge, it is easy to persuade oneself that externalism is not an option.
	From: Michael Williams (Without Immediate Justification [2005], §3)
	A reaction: This is because externalism sees justification as largely non-conscious, but when faced with scepticism, the justifications need to be spelled out, and therefore internalised. So are sceptical discussions basic, or freakish anomalies?
