The Puzzle of Perceptual Justification

Focusing on contemporary theories of perceptual justification, the book explores how factors like conscious experience, higher-order beliefs, and reliable processes contribute to our understanding of perception. It asserts that perception is a key source of knowledge not only for humans but also for simpler animals. The author introduces a scientifically informed reliabilist theory that integrates human perceptual abilities with the notion that perceptual justification is primarily non-evidential, balancing intuitions about conscious experience with this controversial perspective.
