Some propositions are obvious in their own right. We can `just see' that they are true. So there is some such epistemic phenomenon as seeing the truth of a proposition. This paper investigates the nature of this phenomenon. The aptness of the visual metaphor is explained. Accounts of the phenomenon requiring qualia by which the truth is apprehended are disputed. A limited theory is developed and applied. |

In the exploratory section, I try to build a case for the view that, even if such propositions could be properly (...) |

In section II I’ll defend an evidentialist view about what we ought to believe. And in section III I will briefly discuss (...) |
