Abstract
First Paragraph Prelević’s paper (this volume) is a thorough piece which presses me to clarify the argument in my 2011 paper ‘Conceivability and de re modal knowledge’. That paper deals with different types of conceivability-based epistemologies one finds in the literature, and constructs a dilemma for them (Roca-Royes 2011, §6), placing epistemic accounts on one horn and non-epistemic accounts on the other. The scope of this response however will be narrower, to match that of Prelević’s paper.
