Abstract
We provide an analysis of public’s having warranted epistemic trust in
science, that is, the conditions under which the public may be said to have
well-placed trust in the scientists as providers of information. We distinguish
between basic and enhanced epistemic trust in science and provide necessary
conditions for both. We then present the controversy regarding the (alleged)
connection between autism and measles-mumps-rubella vaccination as a case
study to illustrate our analysis. The realization of warranted epistemic public
trust in science requires various societal conditions, which we briefly
introduce in the concluding section.
