From the Toolkit
What I would like to point out about the toolkit's understanding of a "justified belief" is related to the conversation we had this past Friday. Justification for a belief will vary from subject matter to subject matter, especially when we transgress the speculative/empirical knowledge boundaries. Within each discipline there seems to be a specific method or procedure for justfying a claim, and while these may overlap on occasion (such as the use of logical argument within many disciplines) there is seemingly no objective standard of justification. What it means to be justififed in a belief will vary depending on the concept being investigated, this is just something I found to be slightly interesting when thinking about how we arrive at the conclusion that a claim is true via being justifed by evidence.
