    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Justification inherently involves the agent's rational engagement with reasons—accessibility is constitutive.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Reliability alone doesn't ensure justified belief; a broken clock is reliable but doesn't justify time-beliefs.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without articulable grounds, we cannot distinguish genuine justification from lucky accidents in belief-formation.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Humans reliably track probabilities in perception and prediction without conscious articulation of the process.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
