As a core concept in epistemology,belief justification forms the basis for reasoning,thinking,planning,and decision-making by individuals.However,disagreements within academia regarding the types and nature of evi-dence have led to epistemological debates between evidentialism and reliabilism,and between intemalism and external-ism.Nevertheless,the focus of justification theory is not on these dualistic arguments,but rather on researching the struc-ture and degree of justification,as they constitute the essence of justification-determining to what extent a subject be-lieves a proposition,qualifying it as knowledge.Therefore,the key of justification theory lies in how evidence is struc-tured,clarifying the inherent connections between evidence to ascertain the degree to which beliefs or propositions are justified.Degrees of justification can be measured using coherence.Probability coherence theory represents cutting-edge research in justification theory,using probability measures to calculate coherence or justification levels.Within this framework,it is possible to systematically analyze the deep connections between coherence,probability,and justification.
