Abstract
After the epic essay “Epistemology Naturalized” by Quine, various kinds of naturalistic epistemology has been advanced. While Goldman and others advocated reliabilism in the traditional epistemological context, Laudan pronounced naturalistic philosophy of science. Reliabilism held by Goldman and scientific antirealism held by Laudan may seem to be incompatible with each other. In this article I show that these two views are conformable to each other.
