Knowledge and evidence are fundamentally linked in epistemology, where evidence serves as the basis for justification in the JTB account [1] and is a central focus for both naturalists [2] and traditional epistemologists [3]. Furthermore, the relationship is defined by the debate over whether evidence is sufficient to constitute knowledge [4], how it supports testimonially-based beliefs [5], and its role in skeptical arguments [6] and empirical frameworks [7].
