Description

We ordinarily take it as obvious that we acquire knowledge of our world on the basis of sensory perception, and that such knowledge plays a central cognitive and practical role in our lives. Upon reflection, however, it is far from obvious what perception involves and how exactly it contributes to our knowledge. Indeed, skeptical arguments have led some to question whether we have any knowledge, or even rational or justified belief, regarding the world outside our minds. Skepticism and foundationalism in early modern philosophy -- Realism, idealism, and common sense -- Perceptual experience -- An introduction to contemporary epistemology -- Coherentism -- Abductivism -- Phenomenal conservatism -- Access internalism, mentalism, and reliabilism -- Epistemological disjunctivism.
