摘要

在本文中,我认为,证词的性质要求我们区分基于举证人的感官知觉、推理或更长的证词链的证词。我进一步认为,这种区别具有认识论意义,因为它有助于我们更好地理解某些类别的证词有多可靠,以及某些人有多可靠,这取决于他们的证词最终所依据的认识论来源。在文章的第1部分,我首先提请注意在伊斯兰哲学传统中存在的几个不同的证词术语。在第2节中,我认为这些术语之间的本质区别与作为说话人证词基础的认知来源有关。在第3节中,我将继续解释这种区别如何帮助我们更好地理解证词的可靠性,以及它如何影响我们对不同背景下不同说话人的可靠性的评估。在第四节中,我用这种区别来挑战说话者能力的必要条件。最后,在第5节中,我利用这种区别来削弱证词认识论中的信念传递观点。

Testimonial Kinds: The Source Factor
Abstract In this article, I argue that the nature of testimony necessitates that we distinguish between testimonies that are based on the informant's sense perception, inference, or on a longer testimonial chain. I further argue that this distinction has epistemic significance, in that it helps us better understand how reliable certain classes of testimonies are and how reliable certain individuals are, based upon the epistemic source that their testimony is ultimately grounded in. I begin the article, in Section 1, by drawing attention to the existence of several different terms for testimony found within the Islamic philosophical tradition. In Section 2, I argue that the essential difference between these terms has to do with the epistemic source that grounds the speaker’s testimony. In Section 3, I move on to explicate how this distinction helps us better understand the reliability of testimony and how it impacts our evaluation of the reliability of different speakers in different contexts. In Section 4, I use this distinction to challenge the necessary condition of speaker competency. Finally, in Section 5, I use the distinction to undermine the belief-transmission view in the epistemology of testimony.
