Discuss all beliefs in every circumstance

Reference no: EM133584341

Problem: In his "Without Evidence or Argument: A Defense of Reformed Epistemology," Kelly James Clark, a contemporary philosopher, offers the following criticism of Clifford's principle: The first problem with Clifford's universal demand for evidence is that it cannot meet its own demand. Clifford offers two fetching examples in support of his claim. The examples powerfully demonstrate that in cases like the example, rational belief requires evidence. No one would disagree: some beliefs require evidence for their rational acceptability. But all beliefs in every circumstance? That's an exceedingly strong claim to make and, it turns out, one that cannot be based on evidence.
