直觉还是日常认知能力——威廉姆森的思想实验辩护策略

Intuition or Ordinary Cognitive Capacity:Williamson's Justification Strategy

面对来自实验主义者的直觉挑战,提摩西·威廉姆森通过日常认知能力捍卫了思想实验激发的命题作为哲学理论证据的主张。根据威廉姆森的观点,实验主义的直觉挑战是一种应该被拒斥的判断怀疑主义。传统主义诉诸直觉的辩护策略是引发怀疑主义的理论根源。乔纳森·温伯格反对威廉姆森把实验主义归为怀疑主义的主张;杰西卡·布朗为传统主义提供了辩护。但是从哲学方法论的角度来看,威廉姆森的辩护策略是不充分的并且不能完全回应实验主义的挑战。
