If any of them taken by itself establishes the proposition as certain, then the proposition is certain, regardless of the quality of the others. In some cases, when multiple arguments each independently establish a conclusion as possible or probable, their force can add up, making the conclusion more and more probable, and ultimately certain. This is pattern of reas..." current

But how should we assess a conclusion when we have two arguments one for it and one against, neither of which have been refuted. There are two ways in which this situation can come about. First, someone who denies the conclusion of an argument might present an independent argument against..." current

A refutation ''of a proposition'' is a proof (or attempted proof) that the proposition is false. A refutation ''of an argument'' is a proof that the argument does not actually support its conclusion. The word “refutation” is usually reserved for cases in which the falsehood of the proposition or the badness of the argument is established ''conclusively''. Th..." current

Let us put aside the propositions that we can know independent of argument and consider what epistemic status propositions that require arguments have in different circumstances. We have already said that such propositions..." current

If, to return to an earlier example, we know that Natalie murdered Carl, because we know that the murderer had access to his rose garden and that only she had such access, then our knowledge that she is the murderer depends on our knowledge of these two premises. The same pattern holds for lower epistemic statuses. If it were merely probable that..."
