Evidential Preemption: (How to) Groom(ing) an Audience for Misinformation
What are the implications of undercutting opposing views without offering an additional argument, evidence or proof? Endre Begby dives deeply into this question with "Evidential Preemption", published in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. The article introduces the concept of "evidential preemption", and is a continuation of Begby's research focus on issues in social epistemology, on the cognitive underpinnings of language and communication.
