31 Cf. Article, Authority in Paul Edwards (editor), The Encyclopaedia of Philosophy, Vol. 1, p. 216. ‘A person may fall in with another’s suggestions, however, not precisely because he feels that he has a duty to obey, but because the other person is an authority, meaning that he is believed to possess expert knowledge and therefore the right to be listened to because he knows what he is talking about. This is the borderline case between authority and influence. The authority of the expert . . . involves the notion of someone qualified to speak. It presupposes standards by which expertise is assessed and recognized, for example, degrees or professional reputation. Evidence of this kind serve (sic) as reasons why laymen should take the expert’s word without understanding his reasons, even without asking for them.’
