Epistemic Justification: Foundationalism and Beyond
number of things I believed to be true. A few examples: I believed I was in Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. I believed I was caught up on my student loan payments.

متن کاملOn epistemic logic with justification
The true belief components of Plato’s tripartite definition of knowledge as justified true belief are represented in formal epistemology by modal logic and its possible worlds semantics.
