- W4381854976 abstract "Abstract Chapter 4 turns to consider the notion of “evidence” which is central to many contemporary epistemological discussions. Here it is argued that talk of “evidence” is best avoided, at least in our most precise statements of our account of rational belief. Given the meaning that the term ‘evidence’ has in everyday English, the claim that rational beliefs must “respect the evidence” has some unfortunate results. In particular, it encourages some assumptions that are in fact inconsistent with the general conception of rationality that was articulated in the previous chapter. According to the account that is developed here, the degree to which each of the available alternative belief systems is rational for a thinker at a time is determined by how this belief-system relates to what is “given”—that is, to the relevant internal mental facts that cannot be changed by the way in which the thinker deploys her reasoning capacities at that time. But this notion of “the given” does not in fact correspond to what in everyday English could at all naturally be called the thinker’s “evidence”. It is suggested that the concept of ‘evidence’ belongs, not in an account of the rationality of an individual’s beliefs, but in a kind of social epistemology: in effect, “evidence” is what one can use to show that something is the case, to a particular audience." @default.
