ABSTRACT
After laying out a basic framework for thinking about justification and evidence within the classical deontological picture, this chapter explicates seemings foundationalism. The author places special focus on the principle of phenomenal conservatism, the relevant version of which says that all seemings provide some foundational evidence for their content. The author also discusses what qualifies something as an instance of phenomenal conservatism and explains how the formulation defended in this book differs in important ways from others.
