Om Husserls syn på perseptuell begrunnelse

Abstract

First, I note that Husserl takes the bodily givenness of a thing to be constitutively dependent on «anticipations» of possible further perception of the thing. Second, I argue that he implicitly construes the anticipations concerned as veridical. And I suggest that this, when combined with his internalism about justification, implies that his claim about the epistemic role of bodily givenness should be taken to concern seeming givenness. Third, I point out that Husserl also, and expressly, construes the anticipations as inductively justified by memories of past perceptions. From this, I conclude that he seems committed to holding that the justification provided by bodily givenness is mediate, depending, as it then does, on the justification that such memories provide for the anticipations involved.
