| Description | This chapter focuses on issues of trust and distrust, which seem especially relevant to epistemic injustice, and in particular on issues where thinking about trust and distrust may help us crystallise questions that we might have missed otherwise. It discusses injustice first in the context of trust and distrust in testimony, and then in the context of trust and distrust in action more generally. In ordinary language, the term 'testimony' is reserved for significant first-person reports of witnessing, often in religious, legal, or journalistic contexts. However, for philosophers, 'testimony' encompasses the multitudinous ways in which we purport to provide information to one another, taking in idle gossip, scientific papers, encyclopaedia articles, and kindergarten teaching, amongst much else. Gerald Marsh explores the centrality of trust to social life, arguing that we owe one another a baseline level of trust, simply as fellow human beings, and that we harm one another when we do not offer this baseline trust.
