    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.A reliable process producing true belief about false premises (e.g., broken clocks) seems to lack the rational endorsement knowledge demands.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Justification explains why we should trust a belief-forming process; reliability alone doesn't address this normative dimension of knowledge.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A subject could reliably form true beliefs while being completely irrational about which beliefs to form or act upon.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Reliably produced beliefs track truth across possible worlds, giving them the core epistemic function required for knowledge.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Adding justification as a separate requirement creates artificial puzzles (Gettier cases) absent from the reliable production account.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Justification is often merely a way of describing why a reliable process works—it's explanatory, not an additional condition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
