Question

Juan Comesaña argued that this framework’s generality problem only exists because the basing relation is unknown. An extension of this framework holds that someone with a brain lesion that makes them believe they have a brain lesion does not meet the criterion of “proper function.” (15[1])Opponents of this framework often cite the example of the chicken sexer. A form of this externalist framework is contrasted with responsibilism, holds that intellectual virtue consists of cognitive faculties like introspection and memory, and was developed in (*) Ernest Sosa’s “The Raft and the Pyramid.” (-5[2])The paper that introduced this framework imagines seeing barn façades on a country road (10[1])to refute the “appropriate causality” condition previously proposed by its author, Alvin Goldman. For 10 points, what framework holds that a belief is justified if it results from processes that tend to produce true beliefs? ■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: reliabilism [or word forms; or process reliabilism; accept proper functionalism until “proper”; prompt on the causal theory of knowledge until “causality”; prompt on the discrimination account of knowledge; prompt on externalism until mentioned; prompt on virtue epistemology until “virtue”; reject “functionalism”]
