The Implications of Internalism and Externalism for Political Epistemology

Internalism holds that political knowledge is acquired through introspection, while externalism holds that it is acquired through observation.

Internalism holds that political knowledge is subjective, while externalism holds that it is objective.

Internalism holds that political knowledge is independent of the knower's social and historical context, while externalism holds that it is dependent on these factors.

Internalism holds that political knowledge is justified by the knower's reasons, while externalism holds that it is justified by its consequences.
