This video is about the epistemology of testimony. First, we compare and contrast traditional and social epistemology. Then, we discuss reasons to think that we rely on testimony all the time. Next, we talk about three views in the epistemology of testimony: testimony skepticism, reductionism, and anti-reductionism. Finally, we look at two factors to consider when deciding who to trust, and why some philosophers think that knowing from testimony is limited in key ways.
