Evidential support and best explanations
Philosophical Issues 30 (1):71-85 (2020)
Abstract
The essay seeks the best combination of internal and external factors in the evidential support that we can have for a proposition. After identifying the combination, the essay criticizes views according to which our evidence supports propositions in virtue of the propositions explaining the evidence to us.Author's Profile
