The Inheritance of Belief (epistemology)

How justified belief survives on inheritance and conditioning beyond the evidence at hand — an epistemology of inheritance.

Belief comes with inheritance and conditioning on top of evidence: the 'given' part cannot be cleared by more clever argument.

The LHS Lens treats epistemic inheritance as the proper object of scrutiny rather than the residual after the evidence is counted; the discipline is to ask which of your beliefs the evidence alone did not establish.
