SUMMARY:Testimony and Expressive Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Parrott (Oxford)People often directly tell us about the
 ir thoughts\, feelings\, and desires. &nbsp\;This common practice has led 
 some philosophers to claim that testimony can be a fundamental way of know
 ing about others&rsquo\; minds. I shall argue that this claim is plausible
  only if we assume a certain conception of testimony\, one which aligns it
  very closely with perception. &nbsp\;By contrast\, if we were to adopt a 
 different conception of testimony\, such as Richard Moran&rsquo\;s &lsquo\
 ;assurance view&rsquo\;\, then our acquiring testimonial knowledge of some
 one else&rsquo\;s mind would epistemically depend upon our having non-test
 imonial knowledge of their mental states. More specifically\, I shall sugg
 est that this latter knowledge is based on a person&rsquo\;s expressive be
 haviours. Finally\, I shall develop a framework for explaining how express
 ive behaviours ground our ordinary knowledge of others&rsquo\; minds.
