Evidence

Abstract

Evidentialism is the view that epistemic justification is a product of evidence. Evidentialism holds that the justification of attitudes other than belief is also determined by evidence. When one's evidence supports the negation of a proposition, disbelief is the justified attitude. When one's evidence is counterbalanced, suspension of judgment is the justified attitude. This chapter clarifies the nature of evidence and evidential support. The chapter also responds to some objections and assesses some rival views.
