Trustworthiness

Join us with Trust-expert Dr. Jonathan Reibsamen, Ph.D., a professional epistemologist, who examines the role trust plays in gaining knowledge.

Epistemology is the field of philosophy that focuses in on a disciplined and organized study of Knowledge, its limits and sources and conditions. Here the question for us hones in on how trust relates to the acquisition of knowledge in testimony (as evidence or a source of knowledge). Of course there are obvious connections to politics and business, for example. We barely scratch the surface of all the related issues that arise.

“Trust is very important.”

Dr. Reibsamen also describes the courses he teaches, including his favorite teaching experience which involves teaching Logic in the prison system in South Carolina. He calls it the best logic class he’s ever taught. A faith-based initiative, it’s privately funded through donations.
