Dreaming and certainty
Philosophical Studies 45 (May):353-368 (1984)
Abstract
I argue that being wide awake is an epistemic virtue which enables me to recognize immediately that I'm wide awake. Also I argue that dreams are imaginings and that the wide awake mind can immediately discern the difference between imaginings and vivid sense experience. Descartes need only pinch himself.Author's Profile
