Seemings and the Foundations of Justification

A Defense of Phenomenal Conservatism

All justified beliefs ultimately rest on attitudes that are immediately justified. This book illuminates the nature of immediate justification and the states that provide it. Simply put, immediate justification arises from how things appear to us--from all and only our "seemings."
