Resum
[spa] Según Williamson, saber y creer son estados mentales, pero creer algo verdadero y creer justificadamente algo verdadero no lo son. Ese tratamiento discriminatorio es relevante para la epistemología de Williamson. Su principal tesis epistemológica negativa (sobre la supuesta imposibilidad de definir el saber conforme a cierto formato tradicional) y su principal tesis epistemológica positiva (una definición, alternativa, del saber) están en peligro si su teoría metafísica sobre lo mental es incorrecta. Presento aquí un problema para dicha teoría: impone limitaciones implausibles a los posibles usos de conceptos y expresiones lingüísticas. Describiré algunas opciones que tendría Williamson para evitar el problema; pero sostendré que acarrean cierta dosis de arbitrariedad.
[eng] For Williamson, knowing and believing are mental states, but believing truly and justifiedly-and-truly believing are non-mental states. This discriminatory approach is relevant to his epistemology: his main negative epistemological thesis (on the alleged impossibility of defining knowledge in accordance with a traditional scheme) and his main positive epistemological thesis (his own alternative definition of knowledge) depend on his metaphysical theory about the demarcation of the mental. I present here a problem for Williamson's theory of the mental: it imposes implausible restrictions on possible uses of concepts and linguistic expressions. I will describe some options that Williamson would have at his disposal to evade the problem; but I maintain that these options carry some degree of arbitrariness.
