The epistemic impact of the etiology of experience
Philosophical Studies 162 (3):697-722 (2013)
| Abstract | In this paper I offer a theory of what makes certain influences on visual experiences by prior mental states (including desires, beliefs, moods, and fears) reduce the justificatory force of those experiences. The main idea is that experiences, like beliefs, can have rationally assessable etiologies, and when those etiologies are irrational, the experiences are epistemically downgraded. | |||||||||
