Sažetak

In this paper, Zimmermann’s epistemological views on testimony are critically approached and examined, particularly with regard to the following three questions: first, is testimony capable of yielding knowledge (as for this problem, Zimmermann’s doctrine is shown to be not clear enough); second, is testimony capable of yielding justified certitude (as for this issue, Zimmermann’s tenets turn out to be highly debatable); third, is natural certitude of causal or rational origin (as for this dilemma, Zimmermann seems to take no clear position)? Additionally, some of Zimmermann’s claims are compared with Reid’s principles of veracity and credulity.
