Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Philosophers who hold that justification of a belief need not guarantee its truth are called fallibilists. Internalists require the believer to have conscious access to reasons that adequately support the belief, whereas externalists do not require conscious access to reasons, but rather suggest that a belief can be justified by its causal connection to the world. Skeptics hold that knowledge is impossible or that we have very limited knowledge, but they may fallibilists or not.
