Abstract: | Recent findings in cognitive science suggest that the epistemic subject is more complex and epistemically porous than is generally
pictured. Human knowers are open to the world via multiple channels, each operating for particular purposes and according
to its own logic. These findings need to be understood and addressed by the philosophical community. The current essay argues
that one consequence of the new findings is to invalidate certain arguments for epistemic anti-realism. |
