Deontological evidentialism, wide-scope, and privileged values

Abstract: Deontological Evidentialism (DE) is the claim that we ought to form and maintain our beliefs in accordance with our evidence. In this paper, I criticize two arguments in its defense. I begin by discussing Berit Brogaard's (2014) use of the distinction between narrow-scope and wide-scope requirements against W.K. Clifford's moral defense of (DE). I then use this very distinction against a defense of (DE) inspired by Stephen Grimm's (2009)

“…According to Mascarenhas (2019), deontological ethics does right by the elimination of humanity's moral standards and place them in something with absolute authority. Regrettably, deontologists have argued over the years about the authority's source (Oliveira, 2017). However, the bible is unambiguous in that God created us to communicate with him (John 15:14-15).…”
