Curious about what makes a credence justified? I use Aafira and Halim's 90% cases to separate good evidence from wishful thinking. Then I tackle what is justified credence, compare Dunn's calibrationist process reliabilism and Tang's indicator reliabilism, pose the Connection Problem in epistemology and offer my own reliabilist solution that unifies them while responding to the Graining Problem.
Rolly's Take
This blog resonates deeply with those who grapple with the intricacies of belief and knowledge in our often tumultuous world. It speaks to the curious mind, one that seeks to untangle the threads of justified credence from the clutter of wishful thinking, yearning for clarity amid the noise. Here, readers will find a rich exploration of epistemological concepts that challenge them to reflect not just on what they believe, but how they arrive at those beliefs. The nuanced discussion around reliabilism invites a thoughtful contemplation on the very nature of justification, offering a pathway to a more grounded understanding of our convictions.
