    Challenges→The Zebra* variant instantiates the disjunctive template

    If the Zebra* case relies on subjective indistinguishability as the operative condition for justification failure, it presupposes an internalist conception of justification that disjunctivism explicitly rejects, undermining the claim that it instantiates the disjunctive template.

    Key Terms

    Internalism (internalist conception of justification)(epistemology)
    The idea that what makes your belief justified depends only on things inside your own mind—your thoughts, experiences, and reasoning—not on how the outside world actually is.
    Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted)
    Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.
    Subjective indistinguishability(epistemology)
    When two situations feel identical from your personal perspective—you can't tell them apart based on your own experience alone.
    Zebra case(epistemology (theory of knowledge))
    A famous thought experiment in philosophy where you're asked whether you can really know you're looking at a zebra versus a cleverly painted mule—used to explore what conditions are needed for genuine knowledge.

    disjunctive template(Framework for analyzing transmission of justification)
    An epistemic structure that requires a subject to have justification for believing a conclusion (Q3) that is independent of the subject's justification for a premise (P3) based on perceptual experience.
    disjunctivism(Used by naive realists to respond to the argument from hallucination)
    The claim that causally matching veridical and hallucinatory experiences are fundamentally different in kind
    justification(Third condition of the tripartite account of knowledge)
    The condition on a knower's belief that excludes mere luck — the belief must be held in a way that is appropriate or warranted, not merely accidentally correct.
