The Evidentialist Principle states that:
"It is irrational for anyone, anywhere, to believe anyting without sufficient evidence."
The allowable support for this evidence can come from the evidence of the senses (ex. I see that the cat has 4 legs, therefore the cat has 4 legs) or self-evident principles (ex. 4 > 2 and 5 > 4, therefore 5 > 2).
Now, what exactly is the evidence for the Evidentialist Principle? Is it self-evident? Does it pass its own test?
