Reliabilism is a theory in epistemology that suggests the justification of a belief depends on the reliability of the process used to form that belief. It shifts the focus from the internal justification of beliefs, which emphasizes the mental states of the believer, to external factors that assess the reliability of belief-forming processes. This perspective allows for a more practical evaluation of knowledge and addresses concerns raised by skepticism about the nature of justified belief.
