The article contends that parentheticalism better explains knowledge representation than alternatives. As a consequence of outperforming assertoric explanations...

How- ever, knowledge of the kinds of things that exist and the kinds of things that are generally depicted are of no help in identifying the intentions of a picture maker with unusual representational aims (Abell 2005a).3 This suggests...

To meet the challenge I've posed to representationalism, the agent's commitment-constituting representation must somehow fix the explanation of her RDC...

The inputs to the core object system are in some ways similar to typical perceptual inputs and in some ways similar to typical cognitive inputs. Perceptual systems take in sensory registration cues...

Now add to this starting point the libertarian hypothesis that agents possessed of such knowledge act in the world...

I interpret it as including three main parts: (1) advocating for the epistemic significance of understanding in the place of knowledge and a corresponding weakening of the requirement of true belief, (2) developing a coherentist epistemology that replaces the externalist...

Moreover, I argue that this helps solve the first problem as well, by explaining how having sensitive knowledge can consist in perceiving an agreement or disagreement between ideas and still be knowledge of real existence. Finally, Locke's account of sensitive knowledge helps...

He posits that memory is a two-level metacognitive belief-producing system consisting of an information producer and an endorsement mechanism. The endorsement mechanism either endorses or rejects the content generated...

The basic element of per- ception is representing a “this-such,” for example, a pink ice cube or a red brick facing me, a mental act or event that is typically triggered by the physiological event of sensation caused by an external object but is not equivalent to sensa- tion nor literally...

Consideration of his wider views on the nature and limits of our knowledge of mind shows that Kant could indeed remain neutral on the issue but that the exact form his neutrality can take is subject to unexpected constraints.
