Summary |
Seemings are ways things seem to be. They are an important epistemological source. For example, Amelia may believe that there is a double rainbow in the sky because it visually seems to her that way. Bella may believe that she ate oats for breakfast because she seems to remember eating oats for breakfast. Cecilia may believe that she should donate to charities because it seems right to her. Philosophers are particularly interested in the epistemic significance of seemings. Key questions include whether seemings can be epistemically beneficial or harmful, and if so, in what sense. |
