What does /his/ think of evidentialism i.e. the philosophy that you should have evidence for your beliefs and reasoning and opinions.

Are there any good arguments for anti-evidentialism?

Define "evidence"

In humanities? Double hermeneutics, self-fullfilling prophecies, limited human perception and the likes at least.

a single hermeneutics isn't a hermeneutics. As far as evidence? Hume's black swan.

What is the difference between "evidentialism" and empiricism?
>>
>>1194216

>>1194203

Is evidence not something measured or sensed?
>>
>>1194241

Are you trying to make a case that evidence is unimportant or suggesting you have evidence that is not sensed or measured?
>>
>>1194241
No, because the apparatus dictates the sensible, and so already contains theory.
