AN EVIDENTIALIST FORM OF JUSTIFICATION

Explanation: Evidentialism in philosophy is the theory that the justification of a belief depends solely on the facts or observations for it.

In evidentialism, an individual is justified to believe something when there is an evidence that supports their belief.. This theory is in essence about beliefs that are JUSTIFIED and those that are not.

Christopher Columbus belief that he discovered a route to the east indies was as a result of evidence gotten from his maps and the belef of his day. This example is clearly what evidentialism emphasizes.

This is an "EVIDENTIALIST FORM OF JUSTIFICATION".

Explanation: Evidentialist form of justification, states that for a statement to be justified as truth, they must be an evidence to show that such statement is true. But the problem with this justification is that, it doesn't explain how to ascertain an evidence to be true or false.

Because Christopher Columbus has an evidence to prove his belief about the route to the east indies, it is an evidential justification. But because he cannot ascertain his evidence, which is the map and current belief of the day to be true or false. This made him to give a wrong justification.
