• Epistemology Seminar: Catarina Dutilh Novaes “Argumentation and a three-tiered model of epistemic exchange”

    A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 精东传媒, United Kingdom

    Abstract: Argumentation is often contrasted with testimony in that in cases of testimony, an epistemic agent (presumably) primarily evaluates the trustworthiness of the source of information (the informant), whereas in argumentation there is (presumably) primarily engagement with the content communicated.

This paper puts forward a dilemma leveled against hinge epistemologists. The…
