 Internalism and externalism

Internalism and externalism are two philosophical positions primarily discussed in the fields of epistemology and ethics, but they can also be relevant in other areas such as philosophy of mind and moral philosophy. ### Epistemology 1. **Internalism**: This is the view that justification for a belief depends solely on factors internal to the person holding the belief. In epistemology, internalists maintain that a person's beliefs are justified based on their own mental states, such as thoughts, experiences, and feelings.
