In terms of this distinction, I describe a puzzle surrounding the conditions on which S\u2019s direct justification for believing P originating from S\u2019s seeming that P is undercut. On the one hand the direct justification from the seeming seems to be undercut exactly when the indirect justification from the seeming is. On the other hand, however, the general characterization of the distinction between the direct and indirect contribution of a mental state to the justification of a belief motivates the expectation that what undercuts the indirect justification originating from it should not have the power to also undercut the direct justification. This leaves unexplained why, when S acquires an undercutting defeater of the indirect justification, S is apparently left with no justification for believing P. I explore three solutions to this puzzle. The first solution eliminates the puzzle by simply conjecturing that S\u2019s seeming that P only supplies indirect justification for believing P. The second solution eliminates the puzzle by conjecturing that S\u2019s indirect justification replaces S\u2019s direct justification from the seeming. The third one, which I defend, rest on a principle distilled by N. Silins, and conjectures that an undercutting defeater of S\u2019s indirect justification from the seeming affects S\u2019s direct justification from the seeming by rebutting one presupposition of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tommaso Piazza Universit\u00e0 di Pavia How to Defeat a Seeming 25 July 2017, 16:00 Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa Sala Mattos Rom\u00e3o (Departamento de Filosofia) Abstract: In this talk I draw a distinction between the direct and indirect contribution of a mental state to the epistemic justification of a subject\u2019s beliefs.
