The concept of justification is central to Evidentialism, which defines it as being entirely dependent on the evidence a person possesses {fact:2, fact:3, fact:6}. Furthermore, Evidentialism serves as a specific internalist theory of justification that dictates how natural facts and epistemic norms determine whether a belief is justified {fact:1, fact:4, fact:10}.
