    It is not the case that On a reliabilist account (Goldman), what matters for justification is the reliability of the belief-forming process, not the subject's ability to settle evidential relations reflectively.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Reliability alone cannot distinguish justified from unjustified true beliefs when subjects lack awareness of manipulation or deception by reliable-seeming processes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Justification requires some rational relation between subject and evidence; pure process-reliability permits justified belief divorced from subject's rational agency.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Reflective access enables correction of unreliable processes; ignoring it abandons self-correction as central to epistemic responsibility.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Justification should track truth-conduciveness: reliable processes produce true beliefs regardless of subject's reflective access to reasoning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Many justified beliefs (perception, memory, inference) don't require conscious reflective ability to articulate their evidential basis.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Internalism creates an implausible intellectualist burden: children and non-philosophers hold justified beliefs despite limited reflective capacity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
