Abstract
This chapter contrasts the way in which classical internalists and paradigm externalists might approach the question of how to construe the justification (if there is any) provided by testimony. In particular, it focuses on the question of whether testimonial inference has a fundamental or a derivative place in our reasoning. In the course of answering this question, this alleged distinction between fundamental and derivative principles of reasoning is examined more closely.
