AGAINST STREET EPISTEMOLOGY

"Street epistemology strikes me as misguided in a couple of ways. First, because it treats scepticism as a positive position or worldivew, abstracted from the intentional content , rather than an attitude toward particular beliefs or proposals. ("Sceptical about what?" "Oh, just sceptical in general.") Second, because it assumes that people's ability to articulate and defend epistemological methods has any special bearing on the warrant for their belief."

"The Nazis and their collaborators actively destroyed evidence of the Holocaust during the war. The Nazis forced Jewish prisoners to exhume mass graves and destroy the corpses of victims. The Nazis referred to this operation in coded language, as Aktion 1005. The Nazis later murdered the same Jewish prisoners they had forced to conceal the Nazi atrocities.
