Samenvatting
The role of testimony in the getting of reliable belief or knowledge is a central but neglected epistemological issue. In this critically acclaimed work of original philosophy, Professor Coady explores the nature of testimony and the philosophical debates about it, in order to show how it might be defended as a source of knowledge. He uses the insights so developed to challenge certain widespread assumptions in the areas of history, law, mathematics, and psychology.
