Paper Topic
No Ifs, Ands or Nots - Boghossian and Williamson on epistemic analyticity and a priori knowledge
- they clash on the analyticity front over the link between understanding on meaning
- they clash on the a priori knowledge front over Boghossian’s “blind reasoning” argument for a kind of brute entitlement on the basis of understanding logical concepts
