Beschreibung:
Our knowledge of the world comes from various sources. But it is sometimes said that testimony, unlike other sources, transmits knowledge from one person to another. In this book Stephen Wright investigates what the transmission of knowledge involves, and the role that it should play in our theorising about testimony as a source of knowledge.
