ABSTRACT
Justification is part of the rational life. I can hold beliefs and perform actions without seeking to justify either. What I cannot do is argue that I should not justify my beliefs or my actions, for the simple but important reason that to argue is to seek appropriate justifications for beliefs, assertions or actions. Those unbothered about justification must be unbothered about convincing others by argument. It is worth pondering this basic claim about justification for in a theory of liberal education much can be made to depend upon it.
