John Cheek's paper

I just posted John Cheek's paper, "Trust and Social Knowledge," to the sidebar. Here are his instructions:


Fellow epistemologists,
I've attached the paper I plan to talk about at our next meeting. It is fairly long, so I would suggest focussing on Sections 1 and 3. Section 2 is a long consideration of how my theory applies to different views in the testimony literature, which many of you have no doubt had enough of by this point, though I'm happy to discuss those ideas as well if anyone is interested.

I will plan to give a (very) brief summary of the ideas in section 1 and (hopefully) more fleshed out presentation of the theory I hint at in section 3. Look forward to seeing many of you on Thursday.
