“…Paul Faulkner's 'Giving the Benefit of Doubt' was the first prize winner of the 2017 Robert Papazian prize. In this article, Faulkner continues a distinctive line of thought that he has been developing in a variety of influential publications over the past 10 years (see for instance Faulkner 2007Faulkner , 2011. Faulkner advances the seemingly counterintuitive position that there are circumstance where faced with evidence that what a person has said is false, we are both psychologically able and epistemically entitled to believe and trust her.…”

“…14 On an increasingly common view, one that I adopt here, this positive stance need not involve a belief that the person will do what we have trusted her to do (Holton 1994;Faulkner 2007Faulkner , 2011McGeer 2008;Marušić 2015). There is a difference between relying on someone in the sense that one expects-predicts-them to do something and relying on someone in the trust-sense.…”

Epistemic Self-Trust and Doxastic Disagreements

The recent literature on the epistemology of disagreement focuses on the rational response question: how are you rationally required to respond to a doxastic disagreement with someone, especially with someone you take to be your epistemic peer? A doxastic disagreement with someone also confronts you with a slightly different question. This question, call it the epistemic trust question, is: how much should you trust our own epistemic faculties relative to the epistemic faculties of others? Answering the epistemic trust question is important for the epistemology of disagreement because it sheds light on the rational response question. My main aim in this paper is to argue-against recent attempts to show otherwise-that epistemic self-trust does not provide a reason for remaining steadfast in doxastic disagreements with others.

Penultimate draft ⋅ Forthcoming in Routledge Handbook of Social Epistemology Testimony is typically o ered with the use of a declarative sentence. But declaratives di er from one language to the next. Does testimonial practice di er cross-linguistically too? This chapter discusses grammatical evidentials to illustrate that it does. My illustration of the signi cance of evidentials to the epistemology of testimony has a negative and a positive part. For the negative part, it is argued that some de nitions of testimony are mistaken because they do not apply to testimony o ered by a declarative containing an evidential. The positive component discusses a new puzzle presented by McCready (2015) that evidentials raise about the justi catory status of testimony-based beliefs.
