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 interested in spelling out the epistemic imports of seemings. One central question is whether a seeming that P provides prima facie justification for believing that P, and if so, in what sense. |
