 ustere Modal Empiricism"</b></p><p>Lecture by Dominic Alford-Duguid\, Assis
 tant Professor of Philosophy\, University of British Columbia</p><p>January
  7\, 2022</p><p>3:00-5:00 p.m\, (via zoom)</p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong>
 </p><p>Modal rationalists dominate modal epistemology. Broadly speaking\, w
 hat unites modal rationalists is a conviction that perception itself does n
 ot play a substantive explanatory role in a right account of modal knowledg
 e. By contrast\, I defend a form of modal empiricism (or\, perhaps more acc
 urately\, 'modal anti-rationalism'). I begin with perception. I defend a th
 esis about sensory hallucination's capacity to provide justification for be
 liefs about non-actual possibilities. I then show how this thesis might be 
 developed into a more ambitious modal empiricism.</p><p><strong>About Domin
 ic Alfred-Duguid</strong></p><p>Dominic Alfred-Duguid is an Assistant Profe
 ssor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia.
  Before being part of UBC he was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the Un
 iversity of Oxford from 2018-2021 and a Research Fellow at King's College L
 ondon from 2016-2018.</p><p>Much of Dominic's research concerns the relatio
 nship between perception and thought. He has also a strong sideline in the 
 philosophy of law. His forays into legal theory began with the foundations 
 of general jurisprudence\, but now also encompass questions about the relat
 ionship between privacy and control.<strong><br /></strong></p><p>For zoom
