Confabulation and epistemic authority

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2018
AbstractMahr & Csibra (M&C) claim that episodic remembering's autonoetic character serves as an indicator of epistemic authority. This proposal is difficult to reconcile with the existence of confabulation errors – where participants fabricate memories of experiences that never happened to them.

Epistemic inequality reconsidered: an inquiry into epistemic authority [PDF]

, 2021
Epistemic inequality is something we face in our everyday experience whenever we acknowledge our epistemic inferiority towards some and our epistemic superiority towards others. The negative side of this epistemic phenomenon has received due attention in the context of the debate on epistemic injustice: whenever an epistemic subject deflates the ...

Epistemic foundations of democratic authority [PDF]

, 2017
Until recently, epistemic considerations have not been relevant for answering the question about democratic authority. It was usually considered that justifications that go in the direction of knowledge, truth or correctness favored decision making by experts rather than democratic decision making.

Negotiating Epistemic Authority

2017
Why do we trust what other people say, and form beliefs on the basis of their speech? One answer: they are taken to have epistemic authority.

An Ecology of Epistemic Authority

Episteme, 2011
I offer an examination of trust relations in scientific inquiry as they seem to contrast with a lack of trust in an example of knowledge imposed from above by an unaccountable institutional power structure. On this basis I argue for a re-reading of John Hardwig's account of the place of trust in knowledge, and suggest that it translates less well than ...

The Epistemic Authority of Expertise

PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association, 1994
All of us defer to the authority of experts. Living in a world of increasing specialization we find that deferral to experts is integral to even the most mundane habits of our ordinary life. I regularly complain about mistakes in meteorologist's forecasts, yet I still carry an ...

Epistemic authority in context

2011
Words and concepts are useful tools; they play a function vital to human survival. Conceptual analysis tends to ignore this fact, examining concepts in utter isolation from actual social life. As a result, conceptual analysts may unwittingly offer a definition that, were it correct, would leave the concept unfit to do the work it has to do.
