    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Epistemic justification requires that the reasoner have reflective access to what makes their inference truth-conducive, not merely that reliability obtains externally.

    Most human cognition operates outside conscious reflection yet produces knowledge: perceptual systems, linguistic competence, and intuitive physics all justify beliefs pre-reflectively.

    Key Terms

    Perceptual systems(in philosophy of perception)
    The biological and mental equipment a creature uses to sense and understand the world around it, like eyes, ears, and the brain processing that information.
    cognition(Interpretation of Kant's use of 'cognition' (Erkenntnis) as pertaining to meaning/intelligibility rather than merely knowledge)
    A semantic notion (on the interpretation described)
    conscious reflection(as used in epistemology)
    Deliberately thinking about something and being aware that you're thinking about it—like when you pause to explain why you made a decision.
    intuitive physics(as used in cognitive science)
    Your instinctive understanding of how physical objects work (like knowing a dropped ball will fall) without formally studying physics.

    (explaining what makes a belief reasonable to hold)
    To provide good reasons or evidence for why you should accept something as true.
    knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
    Justified true belief — true belief that has been arrived at through the exercise of deliberative capacities, including comparison of and deliberation among alternatives.
    linguistic competence
    The end state of the language learning process, characterized by generative linguists as representation of abstract grammatical rules and by Tomasello as employment of rules at various levels of abstraction formulated in both syntactic and semantic terms
    pre-reflectively(as used in philosophy of mind)
    Without conscious thinking or deliberate consideration—automatically and without realizing you're doing it.
