Although the research on the contemporary theory of knowledge have been flourished in recent decades, but the discussion about the theory of knowledge by the philosophy world can be traced back to ancient greek philosophy during the early stages. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the contemporary theory of knowledge have shown a contemporary theory of knowledge combined with various philosophy schools and various point of view of philosophy theories.However, these theories, as internalism, which only focus on the relation between the justification of knowledge and the belief, and externalism,which not only focus on the belief, but also focus on other factors such as the belief s acquire procession, for example, have been gotten the justification of knowledge into trouble. This thesis through that, as the representative of internalism or externalism, foundationalism, coherentism, reliabilism, materialism all insist on the logical consistency as its’ principle, these theories try its’best to meet the demand with the deterministic for knowledge. And this is the fundamental reason for mainstream contemporary theories of knowledge troubled. There are unavoidable occasional, whether by the knowledge itself, or by the chosen on the theory of knowledge justification, on the reality practice veiw.Hence, the thesis turn to discussing the problem between logic and practice.The thesis believes that the evidentialism try to solve the problem between logic and practice by Foundherentism. On the basis of practice, evidentialism jumped out of "trap" of the knowledge’s "deterministic",by corrigibility knowledge instead of incorrigiibility knowledge. And it provides advantages for the development of contemporary theories of knowledge. However, the thesis Consider that the evidentialism also not solve all the problem of contemporary theories of knowledge completely. Because of the blur on the definition of "evidence", it is made evidentialism to be an mixed theory, which has not been solved its’fundamentally problem.In view of this reality, the thesis disccuss the definition of "evidence", by combining contextualism with the evidentialism. Based on this, it try to solve the problem of the definition of "evidence". The thesis believes that on the definition of evidence, it should be based on the context,and it should be discuss the problem of evidence on the practice. And in order to out of trouble, evidentialism should be clarify the.definition of "evidence".
