Abstract:
How are epistemic and phenomenal properties of understanding related? In my dissertation, I offer an answer to this question, relying on an account of how understanding gains its positive epistemic status and on an account of what conscious experiences are associated with understanding. Chapters I and II discuss epistemic aspects of understanding. Chapter III concerns experiences associated with understanding, and classifies them according to the modes in which understanding occurs to us. Then, in Chapter IV, I address the epistemic bearing of these types of experiences for understanding.
