ABSTRACT

This chapter develops process reliabilism, which is a (perhaps the) leading reliabilist account of justification in the literature. It surveys some of the standard motivations for the view, including the view’s ability to (i) explain the connection between justification and truth, (ii) accommodate paradigm cases of justified and unjustified belief, offer an attractive solutions to both (iii) Agrippa’s trilemma and (iv) the problem of scepticism. It also and introduces problems the view faces---including the new evil demon problem, the problem posed by clairvoyant cases and the generality problem---and surveys some of the most prominent process reliabilist solutions to these problems.
