Secondly, we undertake to show that this principle of reliability closure fails and that, therefore, reliabilists encounter difficulties in the attempt to accommodate the closure of epistemic justification under competent deduction. To the latter end, we first briefly lay out a theoretical framework in which to think about methods, their outputs, and the ways in which methods may build on others \u2013 with methods that are the single-premise closures of other methods being prime examples of such constructions. We then proceed to distinguish different plausible reliability measures, without taking a stand on which is best. Lastly, we develop an argument against reliability closure, by showing that a method may be reliable, while its single-premise closure is not. This argument succeeds irrespective of which of the plausible reliability measure is assumed. We conclude that we should either abandon the idea that epistemic justification is closed under competent deduction, or else abandon reliabilism.\u00a0(<em>Joint work with Julien Dutant [King\u2019s College London].<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This work\/event is funded by Portuguese national funds through FCT &#8211; Funda\u00e7\u00e3o para a Ci\u00eancia e a Tecnologia, I.P., within the project UID\/00310\/2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reliability and Closure Sven Rosenkranz (LOGOS, University of Barcelona) &nbsp; 18 October 2024, 16:00 (Lisbon Time \u2013 WET) Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa Sala Mattos Rom\u00e3o [C201.J] (Departamento de Filosofia) &nbsp; Abstract:\u00a0First, we argue that to make room for the closure of epistemic justification under competent deduction, reliabilists had better endorse the principle that the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":4,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"federate","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1886"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2063,"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1886\/revisions\/2063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.demiurgos.eu\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
