There is an ever-growing literature on what exactly the condition or criterion is that enables some (but not all) debunking arguments to undermine our beliefs. In this paper, I develop a novel schema for debunking argumentation, arguing that debunking arguments generally have a simple and valid form, but that whether or not they are sound depends on the particular aetiological explanation which the debunker provides in order to motivate acceptance of the individual premises. The schema has three unique features: (1) it satisfies important desiderata for what any acceptable account of debunking would have to look like; (2) it is consistent with the inductively supported claim that there is no special debunking principle; and (3) it coheres with the plausible claim that what makes debunking arguments unique is that they rely on so-called genealogies for the justification of their premises.

揭穿论证的认识论

关于究竟是什么条件或标准使得一些（但不是全部）揭穿论据能够破坏我们的信念的文献越来越多。在本文中，我开发了一种新的揭穿论证模式，认为揭穿论证通常具有简单而有效的形式，但它们是否合理取决于揭穿者提供的特定病因解释，以激发接受个别处所。该模式具有三个独特的特征：（1）它满足任何可接受的揭穿说明必须是什么样子的重要需求；(2) 与归纳支持的主张一致，即没有专门的揭穿原则；
