This is the most up-to-date collection of essays by the leading proponent of process reliabilism, refining and clarifying that theory and critiquing its rivals. The volume features important essays on the internalism/externalism debate, epistemic value, the intuitional methodology of philosophy, and social epistemology.

This is a collection of very recent essays by the leading proponent of process reliabilism, explaining its relation to rival and/or neighboring theories including evidentialism, other forms of reliabilism, and virtue epistemology. It addresses other prominent themes in contemporary epistemology, such as the internalism/externalism debate, the epistemological upshots of experimental challenges to intuitional methodology, the source of epistemic value, and social epistemology. The Introduction addresses late-breaking responses to ongoing exchanges with friends, rivals, and critics of reliabilism.

Alvin Goldman, Board of Governors Professor at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has been one of the leading epistemologists of the last 40 years, championing the causal theory of knowing, process reliabilism, epistemic externalism, and social epistemology. In other philosophical areas, he is a leading proponent of the simulation theory of mindreading and a major contributor to the metaphysics of action. He has long practiced interdisciplinary philosophy, with links to cognitive science, law, political theory, and economics.
