  • Evidence Sensitivity as a Heuristic for Doubt Pinillos, N. Ángel 2021 Midwest Studies in Philosophy , Vol. 45 , S. 223 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0363-6550 | 1475-4975 Abstract

    Sensitivity-type principles are prominent in epistemology. They have the promise to explain our intuitive and considered reactions to a wide range of important cases in everyday life, science and philosophy. Despite this promise, philosophers have raised a number of very serious objections to the principles. Accordingly, I propose a different type of sensitivity account which, I believe, gets around these serious objections. An important feature of the new approach is that the principle I propose need not be true. Rather, it should be understood as a cognitive heuristic that tells us when something is not known—a type of doubt. A second feature is that the principle does not care about what one’s belief would be like in counter-factual situations. Instead, it cares about what the bases or causes for the belief would be like in those situations.
