    It is not the case that If sub-doxastic or tacit sensitivity to a fact suffices to make that fact operative in an agent's practical reasoning, knowledge is not necessary for acting in its light.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Sub-doxastic sensitivity may be reliable without constituting genuine responsiveness to facts, only to stimuli patterns.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Acting successfully in light of a fact requires some form of cognitive representation that plausibly constitutes knowledge or justified belief.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Distinguishing successful action 'in light of' a fact from mere causal influence requires epistemic standards knowledge typically satisfies.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Agents routinely navigate environments by responding to implicit patterns without conscious propositional awareness of those patterns.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If knowledge requires justified true belief or related conditions, tacit sensitivity can guide action without meeting those requirements.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Evolutionary and developmental evidence shows adaptive behavior precedes and doesn't depend on explicit conceptual knowledge.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
