Is Evidence Non-Inferential?

Abstract

Evidence is often taken to be foundational, in that while other propositions may be inferred from our evidence, evidence propositions are themselves not inferred from anything. I argue that this conception is false, since the non‐inferential propositions on which beliefs are ultimately founded may be forgotten or undermined in the course of enquiry.
