Unreliability of Goldman’s Reliabilizm in the Context of Dispute Concerning Justification

Cezary Mordka

Abstract


In the paper, I present one of the most important contemporary attempts of defeating fundamental problems concerning justification in the context of doxastic assumption. Goldman rejects thesis that we cannot take account of anything except insofar we have believes about it, assumption accepted by foundations and coherence theories. Instead of faulty (above mentioned) views, Goldman indicates reliable cognitive processes as perception, memory, and reasoning. In my paper, I present the whole gamut of arguments against Goldman’s theory but as decisive I consider faults on the ground of reliability concerning perception.
