Thus, though knowledge requires justification, truth, and belief, the word "knowledge" cannot be accurately regarded as simply shorthand for "justified true belief". It initiated a new approach to epistemology, generally referred to as '''knowledge-first epistemology'''.<ref>Aidan McGlynn, ''Knowledge First?'', Springer, 2014, p. ix.</ref>
