Background beliefs and plausibility thresholds: defending explanationist evidentialism
Synthese 197 (6):2631-2647 (2020)
Abstract
In a recent paper, Appley and Stoutenburg present two new objections to Explanationist Evidentialism : the Regress Objection and the Threshold Objection. In this paper, I develop a version of EE that is independently plausible and empirically grounded, and show that it can meet Appley and Stoutenburg’s objections.My notes
