Testimonial Expressivism

Testimonial Expressivism is a philosophical view about how we communicate our beliefs and experiences through testimonials or statements. It suggests that when people share their testimony, they aren't just conveying information; they are expressing their own mental states, feelings, or attitudes. In other words, giving a testimonial is a way of showing what one believes or feels, rather than merely transmitting facts. This perspective emphasizes the expressive, personal aspect of sharing experiences and beliefs, highlighting that testimonial acts reveal more about the speaker’s perspective and state of mind than about objective truths alone.
