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.
