Hitchens'ın usturası

Hitchens'ın usturası, "Delil olmadan iddia edilen şey, delil olmadan reddedilebilir" görüşünü ortaya koyan felsefi usturadır.^[1]^[2]^[3] Ustura ismini de aldığı yazar ve gazeteci Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) tarafından öne sürülmüştür ve kanıt yükümlülüğünün reddeden tarafın değil iddiayı ortaya koyan kişinin üstlenmesi gerektiğini ima eder; bu yükümlülük iddia eden kişi tarafından karşılanmazsa iddia temelsiz kalır ve reddeden tarafın tartışmaya devam etmesine gerek kalmaz. Hitchens bu ifadeleri özellikle dini argümanları çürütmek için kullanmıştır.^[3]
