13. Knowledge Criteria / B. Internal Justification / 1. Epistemic virtues

23558	Offering knowledge needs accuracy and sincerity; receiving it needs testimonial justice [Fricker,M]
	Full Idea: Accuracy and Sincerity sustain trust as regards contributing knowledge to the pool; Testimonial Justice helps sustain trust as regards acquiring knowledge from the pool.
	From: Miranda Fricker (Epistemic Injustice [2007], 5.1)
	A reaction: Fricker's contribution is to show that acquiring knowledge has its own virtues, alongside discovering and communicating it. I take the underlying virtue to be absolute respect for all possible contributors.
