The Requirement of Total Evidence: A Reply to Epstein’s Critique
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2022
Abstract
The requirement of total evidence is a mainstay of Bayesian epistemology. Peter Fisher Epstein argues that the requirement generates mistaken conclusions about several examples that he devises. Here we examine the example of Epstein’s that we find most interesting and argue that Epstein’s analysis of it is flawed.
