Primarily analysing two texts by Tyler Burge and ultimately agreeing with his initial (1993) position that testimony is a good method for acquiring apriori truth. Both listed below under primary sources.
However the paper cannot just be literature analysis and must present original arguments for why this is so. It must also address some of the criticisms addressed in the additional sources.
In terms of additional sources there are a couple of others by Burge to provide some background as well as a few others by additional authors. If the writer wishes to use any other sources in addition to those listed below they can do so however these MUST be academic sources journals, articles, books etc not internet links or the like. good luck and thank you. If you need any copies of the sources listed below let me know immediately and I can sort that out and add the files.
