This is video 20 in an introductory course on epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge. In this video, we continue our discussion of testimony, looking at whether testimony has to be understood as transmission of knowledge. Is it possible to gain knowledge from the testimony of somebody who does not have knowledge themselves?
