| Justification, philosophy: justification is a condition for knowledge which a) is fulfilled or not fulfilled by the explanation of the origin of the information or b) by a logical examination of the argument. For a), theories such as the causal theory of knowledge or reliability theories have been developed. See also verification, examination, verification, proofs, externalism. Justification in a broader sense is a statement about the occurrence of an action or a choice. See also explanations, ultimate justification, reasons._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

M. Esfeld on Justification - Dictionary of Arguments
I 146 ~ Justification/McDowell/Esfeld: thesis: the space of reasons (justifications) is further than that of the conceptual. >Space of reasons, >Concepts, >Conceptual role, >Language dependence. I 161 ~ I-you-relations/Brandom/Esfeld: I-you-relations show in contrast to relativistic I-we-relationships that the community as a whole can be wrong. I-we: I-we is the myth of the given. I-you: I-you replaces representationalism by inferentialism. I- you-relationship. There is no enforcement of consensus, the community has no privileged status. >Myth of the given. I 191ff Justification/belief/Esfeld: justification is only possible by other beliefs because these have statement form - but circumstances are not sufficient, however inferential practices are. Ultimately, we need the coherence theory. Social holism: only beliefs are isolated from the world, nothing in the world is conceptual (VsMcDowell). >Beliefs/McDowell, >Holism, >Beliefs. But beliefs are bound to the world by not being epistemically self-sufficient. (Epistemically self-contained: the content of belief state is ontological dependent on physical texture.) >Belief state, >Content._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
