If justification is Internalist if and only if it requires that all of
the factors needed for a belief to be epistemically justified for a
given person be cognitively accessible to that person, internal to his
cognitive perspective && Coherentists typically hold that
justification is solely a function of some relationship between
beliefs [some sort of contextual support of each other], none of which
are privileged beliefs in the way maintained by foundationalists, with
different varieties of coherentism individuated by the specific
relationship among beliefs appealed to by that version.
