Notes

1 Foley, Richard, Intellectual Trust in Oneself and Others (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2001), p. 105CrossRefGoogle Scholar. All further page references in the text are to this work.

2 Foley denies that the opinions of others are necessarily prima facie credible. Therefore, it is logically possible to consistently trust oneself without trusting others. Nonetheless, for empirical reasons, the “pressure” created by self-trust to grant credibility to others is “extremely difficult” to avoid (p. 107).
