This is a reminder for:
Title: Ishani Maitra, Michigan
Title: Trust and reliance in testimony
Abstract: Much of what we know we learn through others telling us. Several
philosophers have thought that trust plays some crucial epistemic role in
our coming to know via others' testimony. In this paper, I distinguish some
different epistemic roles that trust might be thought to play here: for
example, trust (in the teller) might be thought to be necessary for coming
to know via telling, or if that's not the case, trust might be thought to
provide some extra epistemic oomph that wouldn't be available without
trust. Then, I use the well-known distinction between trusting someone and
merely relying on them to argue that trust does not play any of the
epistemic roles distinguished above. Finally, I consider some important
consequences of this conclusion for the epistemology of testimony.
