Dispositional Reliabilism and Its Merits

Ask Zaar, Balder Edmund LU orcid (2023) In Logos & Episteme: an international journal of epistemiology 14(1). p.75-97
Abstract
In this article I discuss two counterexamples (the New Evil Demon Problem and Norman‘s Clairvoyance) to reliabilism and a potential solution: dispositional reliabilism. The latter is a recent addition to the many already-existing varieties of reliabilism and faces some serious problems of its own. I argue here that these problems are surmountable. The resulting central argument of the article aims to demonstrate how viewing reliabilism as an intrinsic dispositional property solves many of the issues facing reliabilism to date.
