ABSTRACT

This book is an inquiry into the foundations of epistemic justification. The introduction sets out the mystery of immediate justification and the position that the author will defend with respect to it. That position is, first, that there must be sources of immediate justification so long anything is to be justified at all; second, that immediate justification arises only from foundational evidence; third, that all seemings are foundational evidence; and, fourth, that only seemings are foundational evidence. The conjunction of these theses is called “seemings foundationalism.”
