    Justification and reliability
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2004-12-01) Doğan, Aysel
    In “What Is Justified Belief?” Alvin I. Goldman argues that a belief is justified if and only if it is produced by a reliable belief-forming process in the absence of an undermining reliable cognitive process. That is, a belief is justified if and only if it is an outcome of a reliable cognitive process such as a standard perceptual process, remembering, and introspection, and there is no undermining reliable cognitive process. In this article, I argue that the reliability of a belief-forming process is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for justification of a belief. What is crucial for justification is the reliability of a belief-checking process and evidence rather than the reliability of a belief-forming process.
