Nobody believes anything This can give rise to a paradox, if taken literally, or an infinite regree\ss proving it is impossible to believe anything. But the point here is just that the question of evidence need not arise in defending a claim that a person believes something. In the case of knowledge, by contrast, evidence is one of the crucial factors, though not the only one. |
