What does /his/ think of evidentialism i.e. the philosophy that you should have evidence for your beliefs and reasoning and opinions.

Are there any good arguments for anti-evidentialism?

Define "evidence"

In humanities? Double hermeneutics, self-fullfilling prophecies, limited human perception and the likes at least.
