| Title | EPISTEMOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE IMAGINATION MODEL OF DREAMING IN THE CASE OF THE DREAM SKEPTICISM |
| Summary | My intention in the following paper is to explore the epistemological consequences of the imagination model of dreaming in the case of the dream skepticism. I start off by distinguishing the dream scenario from other skeptical scenarios, and stating the problem of dream skepticism. After that I contrast the hallucination model of dreaming with the imagination model of dreaming. I accept that the phenomenal character of our dream experiences is more like imagery than perception, but I reject that in dreams we do not form beliefs. This is followed by showing the failure of Sosa’s use of the imagination model of dreaming against the dream skepticism. At the end I try to indicate a way in which we can have the imagination model of dreaming with genuine beliefs and with some anti skeptical strength. |
