“Knowledge is undefeated justified true belief.”

“My justification for my beliefs does not depend on anything that is not ultimately my own evaluation of my beliefs and my information.”

“The keystone of the coherence theory is the principle that a belief is justified if and only if it coheres with a system of beliefs.”

“Self-trust is the foundation of justification.”

“A person is trustworthy if she is worthy of our trust in her to do what she says she will do because she has a second-order desire to be a person who does what she says she will do.”

“The problem of knowledge is to explain how it is that we can be justified in what we believe.”

“A power surrender is the act of accepting what someone else accepts for reasons of trust.”

“To be rational is to maximize expected utility, but the utility must be my own.”

“Exemplarism starts with exemplars, not with definitions, concepts, or principles.”

“Autonomy is the capacity to form and act on one's own preferences and values.”
