All justified beliefs ultimately rest on attitudes that are immediately justified. This book illuminates the nature of immediate justification and the states that provide it.

Immediate justification arises from how things appear to us – from all and only our seemings. It is the foundation of our moral judgments and the basis of our knowledge. Without immediate justification, we would be unable to trust our senses, make moral decisions, or have any knowledge whatsoever.

The book explores the different types of immediate justification and the conditions that must be met for it to occur. It discusses the role of perception, memory, and attention in shaping our immediate judgments and the factors that can influence our reliability and accuracy.

The book also examines the implications of immediate justification for our understanding of morality, knowledge, and the nature of reality. It argues that immediate justification is essential for our ability to live meaningful lives and make rational decisions.

In conclusion, this book is a valuable contribution to the philosophy of mind and ethics. It provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of immediate justification and its implications for our understanding of the world. It is a must-read for anyone interested in these topics.
