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. He argues that the transmission of knowledge should be
understood in terms of the more fundamental concept of the
transmission of epistemic grounds, and that the claim that testimony
transmits knowledge is not only defensible in its own right, but
indispensable to an adequate theory of testimony. This makes testimony
unlike other epistemic sources.
