Credenza e testimonianza

This paper inquires into the justification of testimonial beliefs and attempts to resolve a dilemma for reductionist and anti-reductionist theories of testimonial justification recently proposed by John Greco. Specifically, the paper purports to demonstrate that Greco's Craigean solution to the dilemma is flawed and put forth an alternative solution that includes all the advantages of Greco's approach and avoids its weaknesses by appealing to the role of pragmatic factors in the attribution of testimonial justification.
