A
The idea that knowledge is self-contained and does not depend on anything outside of itself.
💡 Explanation:
Epistemic closure is the idea that knowledge is self-contained and does not depend on anything outside of itself. This means that the truth of a proposition is determined solely by the evidence that supports it, and not by any external factors such as the beliefs or desires of the person who holds it.
