His starting point is that rational action requires rational belief but tolerates false belief. From there, Comesa provides a novel account of empirical evidence according to which said evidence consists of the content of undefeated experiences. This view, which Comesa calls Experientialism, differs from the two main views of empirical evidence on offer nowadays: Factualism, according to which our evidence is what we know, and Psychologism, according to which our experiences themselves are evidence. He reasons that Experientialism fares better than these rival views in explaining different features of rational belief and action. Comesa embeds this discussion in a Bayesian framework, and discusses in addition the problem of normative requirements, the easy knowledge problem, and how Experientialism compares to forms of evidentialism and reliabilism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJuan Comesa, \u003cem\u003eProfessor, Rutgers University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJuan Comesa is Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University.
