Contextualism can be combined with process reliabilism to determine whether a statement or proposition is reliable. For example, in the past when I take the bus to school, I often check the bus company official website to see when the next bus comes. The predictions were fairly accurate. Suppose, I need to be on campus around 4 pm, and I know that I need to catch the bus around 3:40 pm or earlier. So, I check the website, and I see that the nest bus will come at 3:35, which is the bus I want to…

Peer Review 1: No Name Cognition: I think that your proposition is good and definitely falls within the genre of a justificatory argument.

Moreover, “gap studied with Plato” does not express a proposition,…

Although, many do not agree with the unfairness that is being caused by the larger amount the proposition is planning to raise the percentage even higher. They would increase and extend the proposition if it goes through. This proposition would just extend but not continue forever. Perhaps by 2% more or maybe even higher, which makes it worse for those who make more than $250,000 annually.

Can it be compared to reality, where we try to base our view of what is real and true as much as we are capable of through own perhaps incomplete reasoning? Likewise for happiness do we all devote our time to obtain that happiness as closely as possible, according to our own understanding or is it all just subjective?
