    Supports→The Sellarsian dilemma undermines the epistemological role foundationalism requires of experiences

    If experiences must be representationally contentful to justify beliefs, as Crane and Peacocke argue, then they possess correctness conditions and are assessable as accurate or inaccurate, making them functionally doxastic rather than foundational.

    Key Terms

    Crane and Peacocke(cited as philosophers arguing a particular position)
    Two contemporary philosophers who study how our experiences and perceptions relate to knowledge and meaning.
    Foundational(as the opposite of what cross-individual coordination is claimed to be)
    Serving as a basic starting point or fundamental building block from which other things are derived or built upon.
    accurate or inaccurate(assessing whether experiences correctly represent what actually happened)
    Matching reality correctly (accurate) or failing to match it (inaccurate); true versus false.
    correctness conditions(Platitude about meaningful expressions)
    Conditions under which an application of an expression counts as correct, such that mistaken or erroneous applications are in principle possible.

    Explore a random proposition
    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    functionally doxastic(describing whether experiences function like beliefs in our minds)
    Operating or working like a belief rather than like raw sensory input; treating experiences as if they were thoughts or judgments.
    justify beliefs(explaining what makes a belief reasonable to hold)
    To provide good reasons or evidence for why you should accept something as true.
    representationally contentful(describing whether experiences carry meaningful information)
    Having a specific meaning or information content that stands for something else—like how a photograph represents what it depicts.
