### Agnosticism Argument | **Variable** | **Definition** | |:----------------------------------------:|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **U** | one (x) can unpack what evidence would lead them to change their doxastic attitude on a proposition (y) | | **K** | one (x) knows why they believe that a proposition (y) is true | | **W** | one (x) should temporarily withhold the belief that a proposition (y) is true | | **o** | the interlocutor | | **r** | the proposition at hand |
P1) If one cannot unpack what evidence would lead them to change their doxastic attitude on a proposition, then one does does not know why they believe that a proposition is true.
(∀x∀y(¬Uxy→¬Kxy))
P2)
If one does not know why they believe that a proposition is true, then one should temporarily withhold the belief that a proposition is true.
(∀x∀y(¬Kxy→Wxy))
P3)
The interlocutor cannot unpack what evidence would lead them to change their doxastic attitude on the proposition at hand.
(¬Uor)
C)
Therefore, the interlocutor should temporarily withhold the belief that the proposition at hand is true.
