The concepts are related because evidentialism defines the epistemic status of 'justification' as being entirely dependent on the possession of 'evidence' {fact:3, 8, 15}. Furthermore, debates in epistemology often center on whether justification is fundamentally grounded in evidence or alternative factors like reliable processes {fact:9, 10, 14}.

Naturalized Epistemology - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy plato.stanford.edu 6 facts
claimEvidentialism asserts that the natural facts determining whether a belief is justified are facts about the evidence a person possesses for that belief.
claimTraditionalists hold that to be justified in a belief, one must possess evidence supporting the belief and also 'grasp' the connection between that evidence and the proposition being believed.
claimIf epistemic support facts are natural facts and justification is defined by evidence possessed and epistemic support, then justification is defined in entirely natural terms, removing the need for evidentialists to rely on supervenience to defend naturalism.
claimEvidentialism holds that people who possess the same evidence are necessarily justified in believing the same things.
claimThe recursive nature of defining evidence through justified beliefs does not inherently invalidate the naturalistic status of the evidentialist definition of justification.
referenceRichard Fumerton argued in 1995 that justification requires grasping the connection between evidence and the proposition believed.

claimExternalists argue that the justification of beliefs is external, meaning it results from origination in reliable processes rather than the possession of evidence.
claimReliabilism asserts that the justification of beliefs is a function of the reliability of belief sources, such as memorial, perceptual, and introspective states and processes, rather than evidence.
claimStandard reliabilism asserts that justification is derived from the reliability of the types of processes in which beliefs originate, such as perception, introspection, memory, and rational intuition, rather than the mere possession of evidence.

Naturalism in Epistemology - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy plato.stanford.edu 1 fact
claimEvidentialism posits that a belief is justified to the degree that it fits the subject's evidence, meaning the possession of evidence is what makes a belief justified.
Virtue Epistemology - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy plato.stanford.edu 1 fact
claimPhilosophers including Axtell & Carter (2008), McDowell (1994), Roberts & Wood (2007), and Zagzebski (1996, 2009) argue that epistemological terms like 'knowledge', 'evidence', 'justification', 'duty', and 'virtue' cannot be adequately defined or fully explained in purely non-normative vocabulary.
