Perceptual Experience and Perceptual Knowledge (original) (raw)

The paper investigates the relationship between perceptual experience and perceptual knowledge, arguing that existing externalist and internalist theories fail to accurately represent this relationship. It proposes a primitive connection model that reflects commonsense epistemology more faithfully. Additionally, the paper critiques the common assumption that perceptual experience must meet a general condition for propositional knowledge and addresses the implications of this for understanding the explanatory role of experience in knowledge acquisition.
