Stephen Wright is Lecturer in Philosophy at University College, Oxford, UK. With Sanford Goldberg, he is editor of Memory and Testimony: New Philosophical Essays (forthcoming).
The book is bound to reshape the debate about the transmission of knowledge through testimony. It deserves the attention of anyone interested in the epistemology of testimony, and, indeed, as is suggested by the above discussion, of anyone interested in epistemology more generally. - Arnon Keren, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews This is an excellent, and thought-provoking, book on the epistemology of testimony, one that deserves to be read by all who work in this field. - Duncan Pritchard, University of California, Irvine, USA; University of Edinburgh, UK Stephen Wright's book offers a thorough defence of the view that testimony functions to transmit knowledge and justification. In doing so it casts new light on familiar debates, and should be regarded as essential reading for anyone working in the epistemology of testimony. - Paul Faulkner, University of Sheffield, UK Wright's excellent book presents a detailed defense of the idea that testimony transmits epistemic grounds from speaker to audience, and uses this idea to assess various other familiar accounts of testimony. It addresses all of the major issues in the epistemology of testimony and will be required reading for anyone interested in the topic. - Sanford Goldberg, Northwestern University, USA
