Stanford annotated

Steup, Matthias, "Epistemology", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Winter 2008 Edition), Edward N. Zalta (ed.), URL = .

This source is going to explain the how we are to understand the concept of justification. What makes justification beliefs justified. Also if justification internal or external to your own mind. To understand more broadly, epistemology is about issues having to do with the creation and dissemination of knowledge in particular areas of inquiry. It will also provide a systematic overview of the problems that the questions above raise and focus in some depth on issues relating to the structure and the limits of knowledge and justification.

“For true beliefs to count as knowledge, it is necessary that they originate in sources we have good reason to consider reliable.”
“Memory is the capacity to retain knowledge acquired in the past. What one remembers, though, need not be a past event. It may be a present fact, such as one's telephone number, or a future event, such as the date of the next elections.”

This article is important to my essay because it explains the theory of the author about knowledge. It explains different ways to look at knowledge and how it can be perceived. This author builds on the relation between justification and knowledge. This relates to my paper as in another way to look at the perception of knowledge.

I plan to use this information as describing what Knowledge is in a scientific and philosophical sense. This is important to describing the informational portion of what it is.

This doesn't only connect with other sources, but it is one of the most important cornerstones to the paper itself. It will connect because of the fact that if it doesnt then the paper will not be able to be about knowledge.
