| Summary: | The paper distinguishes various forms of epistemological naturalism and examines whether process reliabilism, a paradigm example of moderate epistemological naturalism, can account for the apparent surplus value of knowledge over mere true belief. Alvin Goldman and Erik Olsson have recently proposed a novel solution to this axiological question. Forming true beliefs in a reliable way, they maintain, raises the conditional probability that the subject will have more true beliefs in the future. I argue that this proposai confronts various problems. Most of them can be remedied if one postulâtes that the subject have higher-order beliefs towards his or her epistemic situation. This aspect of the conditional probability solution, 1 argue, is neutral with respect to metaphysical naturalism regarding higher-order representations. |
