Restoring the Foundations of Epistemic Justification: A Direct Realist and Conceptualist Theory of Foundationalism

Stephen L. Porter

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Against various detractors (e.g. Wilfred Sellars, Donald Davidson, etc.), this book develops a foundationalist theory of epistemic justification. In contrast with Laurence BonJour and borrowing from John McDowell, the essential argument is that conceptualized perpetual experience provides a non-doxastic foundation for perceptual beliefs about physical objects.
