Larry, I am trying to allow for distinctions between internalism and externalism, and set up an article on Getter problems. I can't do this without radically changing the second half of this article, since externalists generally frame their theories as a critique of the JTB theory of knowledge.
I also think some historical reference to Plato and the notion that knowledge is belief plus logos, or reasons, found in the Thaetetus, would be helpful here.
Anyway, I just wanted to put you on notice that I'm planning to radically alter the rest of this text, so that it only explains one view -- the normative internalist view of justification. I think that's fair, since that is how the term is generally used. I think we can and should cover other views, but that we ought to do it on other pages.
If you have objections to this, please let me know, so I don't waste my time writing something you are going to delete out of hand. MRC
An attempt to de-larryify the page. Added heading structure. Not happy with the three sugestions for th esort of thing that can be a justifier - does anyone know who proposes each? Copyedit needed. Banno 00:39, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)
