Philosophy of testimony

Philosophy of testimony is about understanding how much we should believe what other people tell us. It's like learning to check the truth of what someone tells us. To use an example, if your friend tells you about a new movie isn't out yet, you should double check that before believing it, because sometimes people don't always tell the truth. With the philosophy of testimony, you think about what makes it okay to trust what someone is telling you when you don't have proof.
