Does KK imply JTB? I am asking becasue it seems I now know that I know that my wife is not a teapot, precisely becasue I can justify my strong belief that she is not. But then if I already knew that she wasn't, perhaps I could always justify it, so what difference to the sensation I know that I know does justification amount to?

Is there a vartaion of "justification" that those who reject KK embrace?

    Do you mean "does K = JTB imply KK"? Because KK only involves the knowledge concept and surely cannot imply anything about belief or justification. JTB, and internalism generally, does not imply KK strictly speaking, but it makes it plausible, see IEP:"it is natural for internalists to say that one is always in a position to know whether one’s beliefs are warranted... [also] it seems clear that anyone who knows that p is in a position to know that their belief that p is true; so it is natural for internalists to endorse the KK principle."

  • "Do you mean "does K = JTB imply KK"?" yes that is what I mean @Conifold has that sufficiently clarified the question for you?

    Sure, but, for the benefit of others, would you mind editing the title?

    Just stop before KKK. But you could listen to KKKK.
