Epistemic Authority: A Theory of Trust, Authority, and Autonomy in Belief
Zagzebski, Linda Trinkaus (George Lynn Cross Research Professor, George Lynn Cross Research Professor, University of Oklahoma)
In this book Zagzebski gives an extended argument that the self-reflective person is committed to belief on authority. Epistemic authority is compatible with autonomy, but epistemic self-reliance is incoherent. She argues that epistemic and emotional self-trust are rational and inescapable, that consistent self-trust commits us to trust in others, and that among those we are committed to trusting are some whom we ought to treat as epistemic authorities, modeled onthe well-known principles of authority of Joseph Raz. These principles apply to authority in the moral and religious domains.
