Epistemic Sensitivity and Evidence
Günther, M 2021, ‘Epistemic Sensitivity and Evidence’, Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy.
In this paper, we put forth an analysis of sensitivity which aims to discern individual from merely statistical evidence. We argue that sensitivity is not to be understood as a factive concept, but as a purely epistemic one. Our resulting analysis of epistemic sensitivity gives rise to an account of legal proof on which a defendant is only found liable based on epistemically sensitive evidence.
