==Street epistemology==
Street Epistemology (SE) was first described in ’s 2013 book A Manual for Creating Atheists. It is a technique used to help people question their beliefs, “in any conversation in just about any context.” Anthony initiates friendly conversations with people, asking how they arrived at their deeply-held political, religious, and spiritual beliefs. He then asks questions to help them discover if the method(s) used are unreliable. This allows more reliable methods to employed to maintain, adjust, or change the belief. The Street Epistemology website states that “A sincere SE-er aims to encourage their conversation partner to explore what they believe, why they believe it, and how they determined that their belief is true. Further, the SE-er should always try to remind themselves to be open to their interlocutor’s claim and should be willing to increase their confidence in that claim if it appears that the belief is indeed based on a reliable method.” .”
Anthony has stated that success in Street Epistemology is “completely subjective.”
In March 2021, Anthony gave a talk to the Center For Inquiry, titled Tools For Non-Confrontational Discussions.
