Learning from Words
Testimony as a Source of Knowledge
Jennifer Lackey
Reviews and Awards
"...presents a sustained, and engaging, argument for a distinctive epistemological position... admirably clear and densely argued, Epistemology needed a new look at testimony and Learning from Words gives it one." --Paul Faulkner, Mind
"an informative read. The theory she advocates deserves recognition as an important contribution to the discourse on testimony. An attempt to move past emphasizing speakers at the expense of hearers, or hearers at the expense of speakers, is long overdue, and Lackey is clear and concise in drawing out the obligations placed on each." --David R. T. Fraser, Philosophy Now
