Sanford C. Goldberg’s Internalism and Externalism in Semantics and Epistemology explores the debate between internalism, which argues that justification depends on internal mental states, and externalism, which emphasizes external factors like truth and causality. The book is important for addressing how these theories impact knowledge, skepticism, and our understanding of justification.
