Re-thinking the Duplication of Speaker/Hearer Belief in the Epistemology of Testimony†
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 January 2012
Abstract
Most epistemologists of testimony assume that testifying requires that the beliefs to which speakers attest are identical to the beliefs that hearers accept. I argue that this characterization of testimony is misleading. Characterizing testimony in terms of duplicating speaker/hearer belief unduly resticts the variety of beliefs that might be accepted from speaker testimony.
