Appearance and Explanation

Phenomenal Explanationism in Epistemology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

We might think that appearances give a prima facie justification for belief. This is the foundation for Phenomenal Conservatism in epistemology. McCain and Moretti adapt this view by integrating it with the view that epistemic justification is a matter of explanatory relations between one's evidence and propositions supported by that evidence.
