Resumen
El estudio de la epistemología del testimonio en la Ilustración escocesa, especialmente de las posturas que la bibliografía actual considera antagónicas, las de los filósofos coetáneos David Hume y Thomas Reid, puede ayudar a entender en qué debates se columbraban ya entonces algunas de las ideas rectoras del pragmatismo, especialmente las relaciones entre prácticas, aprendizaje y justificación. Una reflexión sobre el acto de habla del testimonio, tal como lo concibió Reid en sus principales obras, puede proporcionarnos una idea de cómo la justificación al aceptar creencias verdaderas mediante la aserción de los demás solo es explicable y deja der ser problemática en el contexto de una red institucional donde la conversación, el aprendizaje y los pactos se hacen bajo la égida de unos principios compartidos y de una idea común del desarrollo humano.
