On the epistemic status of borderline cases

Vol 16, No 1 (2012) • Principia: an international journal of epistemology

Autor: Zoltán Vecsey

Abstract:

In this paper I argue that the epistemicist account of vagueness cannot be entirely correct. After analysing the main features of Williamson’s view, I propose a novel approachto the epistemological problem of borderline cases.
