These norms are grounded in considerations of reliability or truth-conduciveness.

Reliabilism Goldman, Alvin 2008

Robust reliability is truth-conduciveness in a very wide set of epistemically relevant possible worlds, worlds that are experientially very much like the actual world but in other respects possibly quite different from this one.

Reliabilism Goldman, Alvin 2008

A good track record in one sphere is not in itself evidence for truth-conduciveness in another.

Naturalism in the Philosophy of Mathematics Paseau, Alexander 2008

Of course, the historical character of process reliabilism gives the theory an externalist character (which it has in any case by virtue of its use of truth-conduciveness).

Reliabilism Goldman, Alvin 2008

They must be capable of fulfilling the conditions of action, and the conditions of self-restraint, which are necessary either for keeping the established polity in existence, or for enabling it to achieve the ends, its conduciveness to which forms its recommendation.

A Handbook of Ethical Theory George Stuart Fullerton

"Every work, both of nature and art, is a system; and as every particular thing both natural and artificial is for some use or purpose out of or beyond itself, one may add to what has been already brought into the idea of a system its conduciveness to this one or more ends."
