In Being Rational and Being Right, Juan Comesana argues for a
cluster of theses related to the rationality of action and belief.
His starting point is that rational action requires rational belief
but tolerates false belief. From there, Comesana provides a novel
account of empirical evidence according to which said evidence
consists of the content of undefeated experiences. This view, which
Comesana calls "Experientialism," differs from the two main views
of empirical evidence on offer nowadays: Factualism, according to
which our evidence is what we know, and Psychologism, according to
which our experiences themselves are evidence. He reasons that
Experientialism fares better than these rival views in explaining
different features of rational belief and action. Comesana embeds
this discussion in a Bayesian framework, and discusses in addition
the problem of normative requirements, the easy knowledge problem,
and how Experientialism compares to Evidentialism, Reliabilism, and
Comesana's own (now superseded) Evidentialist Reliabilism.
