Looks and Seemings
View through CrossRef
Moving on from points established in chapter 1, the author considers the question of what looks and seemings are, and whether they are indeed mental states. She then argues that ‘look’- and ‘seem’-reports do indeed express mental states rather than observational properties, as Mike Martin has proposed. She then provides evidence for thinking that looks and seemings fall into two categories: phenomenal (non-epistemic, non-comparative) and epistemic. At the end of the chapter, she presents an argument for thinking that looks and seemings are representational and addresses the question of whether this conclusion implies that visual experiences are representational.
