You believe that there is a book (or a computer screen) in front of
you because it seems visually that way. I believe that I ate cereal
for breakfast because I seem to remember eating it for breakfast.
And we believe that torturing for fun is morally wrong and that
2+2=4 because those claims seem intuitively obvious. In each of
these cases, it is natural to think that our beliefs are not only
based on a seeming, but also that they are justifiably based on
these seemings-at least assuming there is no relevant
counterevidence.
These considerations have prompted many to endorse some version of
dogmatism or phenomenal conservatism. These views hold that, in the
absence of defeaters, a seeming that P provides justification to
believe P. The main difference is that dogmatism is restricted to
some domain, often perception, and phenomenal conservatism is
intended to apply to all seemings. Critics worry that such views
run into problems with traditional Bayesianism and that they are
too permissive, in part because of their implications regarding
cognitive penetration.
The primary aim of this book is to understand how seemings relate
to justification and whether some version of dogmatism or
phenomenal conservatism can be sustained. In addition to addressing
each of these issues, this volume also addresses a wide range of
related topics, including intuitions, the nature of perceptual
content, access internalism, and the epistemology of testimony and
disagreement.
