Abstract
Abstract I want to explore the question of whether there is some connection between externalism about mental content and the concept of epistemic justification. One quick, naive, negative thought concerning the possibility of such a connection runs as follows. Externalism is, in part, a thesis about the truth conditions of a believed content, which are distinct from justification conditions, conditions under which a belief of the content is epistemically justified. So it is prima facie hard to see how externalism about content could tell us anything deep about justification. A quick, not-so-naive response to the prima facie worry proceeds from the idea that justification is truth-conducive.
