Learning from words [electronic resource] : testimony as a source of knowledge / Jennifer Lackey. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2008. 1 online resource (xii, 295 p.) Jennifer Lackey reshapes the vigorous debate on testimony by showing that the standard view of the transmission of knowledge by testimony is fundamentally misguided. Her radical new theory holds that testimony is itself an irreducible source of new knowledge, to which both speaker and hearer contribute. Description based on print version record.
