Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to provide an elucidation of the commitments and motivations of phenomenal disjunctivism. Such an elucidation is very much needed, for, as far as I can see, the view, originally introduced by M.G.F. Martin, is often misconstrued. Even though what follows is not a direct defence of the view, this elucidation will dispel some objections, as these will turn out to simply misconceive their target.
