Abstract
The aim of this paper is to cover, at least partly, the Wright- McDowell debate over the epistemology of Perception. I will argue why Wright’s concerns about the epistemological aspect of McDowell’s disjunctive view in perception, though serious, are off-target. My diagnosis of the debate will demonstrate that Wright’s criticisms against McDowell have two problems: first, in his attack on McDowell’s “criteria”, Wright confuses “being justified” and “justifying” in his first argument. Second, in his reformulation of an Agnostic-Skeptical argument throughout his second objection, Wright presupposes Access-Internalist conception of justification. Both of these ideas are rejected by McDowell.
