    It is not the case that The Fox case does not satisfy condition (c*) because the truth of R does not jeopardize any presupposition of the cognitive project of obtaining perceptual justification for P7

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

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Perceptual justification for P7 presupposes that the perceiver's environment contains animals identifiable by their perceptual features.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If R is true (the animal is not a fox), this undermines the reliability of the very perceptual discrimination capacities invoked in justifying P7.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.An epistemic project whose reliability conditions are defeated by R cannot coherently claim R leaves its presuppositions intact.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Pryor's dogmatist account holds that perceptual justification presupposes that appearances are not systematically misleading about kind-membership.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The truth of R entails the perceiver was misled about the animal's kind, which is precisely what dogmatist perceptual warrant presupposes cannot obtain.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, condition (c*) is satisfied because R's truth is incompatible with the non-deception presupposition internal to the perceptual cognitive project.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.R in the Fox case is the proposition that the animal in the garbage is not a fox
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The truth of R does not appear to jeopardize any presupposition of the cognitive project of obtaining perceptual justification for P7
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Condition (c*) requires that R be incompatible with a presupposition of the relevant cognitive project
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
