Abstract

[Under ordinary circumstances, perceptual experience provides good grounds for belief. Some argue that religious experiences are unlike ordinary perception, and so do not justify the corresponding beliefs. Applying Alston’s doxastic practice approach to epistemology, we can see that the question comes down to whether some defeater or other is operative that removes the experience’s justificatory force.]
