Résumé

L’objectif de cet essai est de défendre la thèse selon laquelle l’attention endogène est une condition nécessaire de la justification des croyances perceptives. Je critique l’approche phénoménale selon laquelle c’est le caractère phénoménal (ou la phénoménologie) des expériences perceptives qui confère à celles-ci leur rôle dans la justification. Je prendrai pour cible principale la version qu’en offrent Siegel et Silins (2014 ; 2019). Contre cette approche, je défends que la notion de justification ne peut se comprendre sans référence aux mécanismes cognitifs par lesquels le sujet peut mobiliser une raison à l’appui de ses attitudes propositionnelles – mécanismes que les approches phénoménales négligent et pour lesquels l’attention est nécessaire. En m’appuyant sur la distinction entre justification propositionnelle et justification doxastique, je critique d’abord les cas supposés de justification en l’absence d’attention avant d’élaborer un argument en deux temps. Dans un premier temps, je montre que l’attention endogène, en raison de son rôle fonctionnel, est nécessaire pour la justification doxastique. Dans un second temps, en m’appuyant sur les analyses de Turri (2010), j’établis que la justification propositionnelle a également pour condition nécessaire l’attention.
