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. Investigating the nature and scope of our perceptual knowledge and perceptually justified belief, A Critical Introduction to the Epistemology of Perception provides an accessible and engaging introduction to a flourishing area of philosophy. Before introducing and evaluating the main theories in the epistemology of perception, Ali Hasan sets the stage with a discussion of skepticism, realism, and idealism in early modern philosophy, theories of perceptual experience (sense-datum theory, adverbialism, intentionalism, and metaphysical disjunctivism), and central controversies in general epistemology. Hasan then surveys the main theories in the contemporary debate, including coherentism, abductivism, phenomenal conservatism or dogmatism, reliabilism, and epistemological disjunctivism, presenting the motivations and primary objections to each. Hasan also shows how to avoid confusing metaphysical issues with epistemological ones, and identifies interesting connections between the epistemology and metaphysics of perception. For students in epistemology or the philosophy of perception looking to better understand the central questions, concepts, and debates shaping contemporary epistemology, A Critical Introduction to the Epistemology of Perception is essential reading."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Bloomsbury critical introductions to contemporary epistemology.Knowledge, Theory ofPerception (Philosophy)Philosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledgeElectronic books.Knowledge, Theory of.Perception (Philosophy)121/.34Hasan Ali M.1974-1067341UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910153215103321A critical introduction to the epistemology of perception2550956UNINA03367nam 22006375 450 991025429360332120200701144450.03-319-53061-510.1007/978-3-319-53061-1(CKB)4340000000223203(DE-He213)978-3-319-53061-1(MiAaPQ)EBC5163247(PPN)221252355(EXLCZ)99434000000022320320171128d2017 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDescriptor Revision Belief Change through Direct Choice /by Sven Ove Hansson1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2017.1 online resource (XVIII, 239 p. 18 illus.) Trends in Logic, Studia Logica Library,1572-6126 ;463-319-53060-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.This book provides a critical examination of how the choice of what to believe is represented in the standard model of belief change. In particular the use of possible worlds and infinite remainders as objects of choice is critically examined. Descriptors are introduced as a versatile tool for expressing the success conditions of belief change, addressing both local and global descriptor revision. The book presents dynamic descriptors such as Ramsey descriptors that convey how an agent’s beliefs tend to be changed in response to different inputs. It also explores sentential revision and demonstrates how local and global operations of revision by a sentence can be derived as a special case of descriptor revision. Lastly, the book examines revocation, a generalization of contraction in which a specified sentence is removed in a process that may possibly also involve the addition of some new information to the belief set.Trends in Logic, Studia Logica Library,1572-6126 ;46LogicLogic, Symbolic and mathematicalDatabase managementKnowledge, Theory ofLogichttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E16000Mathematical Logic and Formal Languageshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16048Database Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18024Epistemologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E13000Mathematical Logic and Foundationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M24005Logic.Logic, Symbolic and mathematical.Database management.Knowledge, Theory of.Logic.Mathematical Logic and Formal Languages.Database Management.Epistemology.Mathematical Logic and Foundations.153Hansson Sven Oveauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut767519MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254293603321Descriptor Revision1562567UNINA
