Is evidentialism justified?

Pragmatically justified or epistemically justified?


Quote:Applying evidentialism to itself, we are only justified in believing that evidentialism is true if our evidence supports evidentialism.
That's logical regression you are proposing here, which is just as absurd as trying to apply the scientific method unto itself.


Quote:But do we have any evidence supporting evidentialism?
What you do mean? Emperical evidence? What sort of evidence are you after? We were addressing the justification of propositions and beliefs, regardless of whether they are religious or not, but now you're talking about the theory of justification and that is a large part of epistemology.
