    The document outlines three perspectives on knowledge and commitment to views: the absolutist fully commits to one view and relies on authority, the relativist rebels against authority and disregards evidence, viewing knowledge as opinion, while the evaluativist tentatively commits to the best available view through a critical examination of authority and evidence, viewing knowledge as judgment.
