Publication Getting Told and Being Believed(University of Michigan, 2005) Moran, RichardThe paper argues for the centrality of believing the speaker (as distinct from believing the statement) in the epistemology of testimony, and develops a line of thought from Angus Ross which claims that in telling someone something, the kind of reason for belief that a speaker presents is of an essentially different kind from ordinary evidence. Investigating the nature of the audience's dependence on the speaker's free assurance leads to a discussion of Grice's formulation of non-natural meaning in an epistemological light, concentrating on just how the recognition of the speaker's self-reflexive intention is supposed to count for his audience as a reason to believe P. This is understood as the speaker's explicitly assuming responsibility for the truth of his statement, and thereby constituting his utterance as a reason to believe.Publication I—Richard Moran: Testimony, Illocution and the Second Person(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013) Moran, RichardThe notion of ‘bipolar’ or ‘second-personal’ normativity is often illustrated by such situations as that of one person addressing a complaint to another, or asserting some right, or claiming some authority. This paper argues that the presence of speech acts of various kinds in the development of the idea of the ‘second-personal’ is not accidental. Through development of a notion of ‘illocutionary authority’ I seek to show a role for the ‘second-personal’ in ordinary testimony, despite Darwall's argument that the notion of the ‘second-personal’ marks a divide between practical and theoretical reason.Publication 2015 Mark Sacks Lecture Williams, History, and ‘the Impurity of Philosophy’(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016) Moran, RichardPublication Kant, Proust, and the Appeal of Beauty(University of Chicago Press, 2012) Moran, RichardPublication Self-Knowledge, ‘Transparency’, and the Forms of Activity(Oxford University Press, 2012) Moran, RichardPublication Cavell on Outsiders and Others(Universa Press, 2011-04-05) Moran, RichardPublication Self-Knowledge: Discovery, Resolution, and Undoing(Blackwell Publishing, 1997) Moran, RichardPublication Problems of Sincerity(Blackwell Publishing, 2005) Moran, RichardIt is undeniable that the assumption of sincerity is important to assertion, and that assertion is central to the transmission of beliefs through human testimony. Discussions of testimony, however, often assume that the epistemic importance of sincerity to testimony is that of a (fallible) guarantee of access to the actual beliefs of the speaker. Other things being equal, we would do as well or better if we had some kind of unmediated access to the beliefs of the other person, without the risks involved in the overt act of speaking, and the assumption of sincerity in speech is the closest we can come to this access. Contrary to this picture, I argue that sincerity has a quite different epistemic role to play in testimony than that of an indicator of the speaker's beliefs. The epistemology of testimony requires reference to the speaker as agent, and not just the speaker's beliefs, as well as a sense of 'expression of belief that links it to the specifically addressive relation to another person.Publication Review Essay on The Reasons of Love(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007) Moran, RichardPublication Anscombe on Expression of Intention(Palgrave Macmillan, 2009) Moran, Richard; Stone, Martin
