ABSTRACT
Safety has been proposed repeatedly as a condition to solve the problem of epistemic luck. (Pritchard, 2015______. "Anti-Luck Epistemology and the Gettier Problem", Philosophical Studies vol. 172, no. 1, pp. 93-111, 2015.) offers a peculiar defense of this condition, based in a general (not exclusively epistemic) notion of luck. In this paper I argue that the notion is no sufficient to characterize safety. Pritchard´s safety condition is vulnerable to the classic generality problem for reliabilism and the notion of luck does not provide conceptual resources to solve it. I propose naturalistic solution to the problem based on epistemic considerations.
