Default Re: Epistemology

I like the simple "knowledge = true, justified belief" definition.

The tricky bit, of course, is defining when a true belief is "justified". Personally, I insist on a causal element in my justifications. That is, I only allow a fact to be used as a justification for knowledge of a statement if the truth of that statement and the fact I am using are causally related in some way.
