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.

On the eve of Britain's handover of Hong Kong, Detective Inspector
Lee (Jackie Chan) retrieves a valuable haul of art treasures from
the villainous Sang (Ken Leung), henchman of crime boss Juntao. Two
months later, Lee is called to Los Angeles when Sang kidnaps the
daughter of Lee's friend, Han (Tzi Ma). The FBI, angered by Lee's
involvement in what they see as their case, insist that he is
partnered with their own disgraced detective, the unorthodox James
Carter (Chris Tucker). Lee and Carter immediately clash, but the
two men gradually develop a grudging respect for each other as they
follow a series of clues to Sang's whereabouts.

Academy Award-winning romantic comedy based on the novel by Matthew
Quick. Bradley Cooper stars as Pat Solitano, a former high school
teacher fresh from a stint in a mental institution who moves back
in with his parents in an ill-fated attempt to reconcile with his
ex-wife. His life begins to come together at last when he meets
Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a recently-widowed amateur dancer with
problems of her own, and also begins to reconnect with his
obsessive-compulsive father, Pat Sr (Robert De Niro). Lawrence won
the Academy Award and Golden Globe for her performance and David O.
Russell received the BAFTA for Best Adapted Screenplay.
