深入地思考，做出原创性贡献——威廉姆森教授访谈录

这是本文作者在英国牛津大学做访问学者期间对蒂摩西·威廉姆森（Timothy Williamson）所做的访谈录,后者是牛津大学威克汉姆逻辑学教授,英国科学院院士,美国文理科学院外籍荣誉院士。访谈首先从威廉姆森的学术背景和学术经历开始,然后主要围绕他的四本书《同一和分辨》（1990）、《模糊性》（1994）、《知识及其限度》（2000）和《哲学的哲学》（2007）展开问答与对话。在《模糊性》一书中,威廉姆森提出了一种初看起米十分反直观的观点：从本体论上说,像“秃头”、“谷堆”这样的模糊事物,本来有确切分明的界限,只是我们不知道那些界限在哪里而已!也就是说,模糊性源自于我们对事物的本体论状况的无知。这种观点被叫做关丁模糊性的“认知主义”。在《知识及其限度》一书中,他一反西方哲学中根据“信念”、“真”、“证成”（justification）等等来分析“知识”概念的传统,提出了一个著名的口号：“知识是第一位的”,应该根据“知识”去分析“信念”、“断定”、“保证”（warrant）等概念,而不是相反。在其新著《哲学的哲学》（2007）中,他指出,上个世纪两方哲学中所发生的“语言转向”和“概念转向”是错误的,哲学并不只是研究语词和概念,后两者具有关涉性（aboutness）,它们是关于、指涉这个世界的;哲学也是人类理解这个世界的整体理智努力的一部分,在题材、目标、方法论、评价标准诸方面与其他科学没有实质性差别,哲学例外论是错误的。访谈还涉及对戴维森、克里普克工作的评价,以及对一组形而上学概念,如“to be”、“to exist”、“being（s）”、“existence”、“reality”和“actuality”等等的理解,对年轻一代哲学工作者的建议,以及威廉姆森在近些年打算做的厂作,等等。读者?
