There is a tendency in current philosophical thought to treat
sensory experiences as a peculiar species of propositional
attitude. Alan Millar argues against this view. While allowing that
experiences may in some sense bear propositional content, he
presents a view of sensory experiences as a species of
psychological state. He applies the resulting analytical framework
to a discussion of justified belief, dealing, firstly, with how
beliefs may derive justification from other beliefs, and secondly,
with how current sensory experiences may contribute to the
justification of a person's beliefs. A key theme in his general
approach is that justified belief results from the competent
exercise of conceptual capacities, some of which involve an ability
to respond appropriately to current experience. In working out this
approach the author develops a view of concepts and their mastery,
explores the role of groundless beliefs drawing on suggestions of
Wittgenstein, illuminates aspects of the thought of Locke, Hume,
Quine, and Goldman, and finally offers a response to a
sophisticated variety of scepticism.
