Perceptual knowledge derailed
Philosophical Studies 112 (1):31-45 (2003)
| Abstract | The tracking theory treats knowledge as counterfactual covariation of belief and truth through a sphere of possibilities. I argue that the tracking theory cannot respect perceptual knowledge, because perceptual belief covaries with truth through a discontinuous scatter of possibilities. | |||||||||
