Resumo: Williamson maintains that knowledge of vague propositions is only possible if a certain principle of epistemic margin of error is satisfied.Williamson employs such a principle to explain the ignorance of the non-omniscient mind of borderline cases of vague concepts and in the treatment of soritic arguments. In elaborating his argument in favor of a principle of margin of error, Williamson also makes efforts in an attempt to refute the KK principle. In this essay, we raise some difficulties for Williamson’s approach.

Williamson emprega um princípio desse tipo para explicar a ignorância da mente não-onisciente em relação aos casos limítrofes dos conceitos vagos e no tratamento dos argumentos soríticos. Na elaboração de seu argumento a favor de um princípio de margem de erro, Williamson também envida esforços na tentativa de refutar o principio KK. Neste ensaio, iremos levantar algumas dificuldades para a abordagem de Williamson.Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC2023-10-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/9037410.5007/1808-1711.2023.e90374Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 27 No. 2 (2023); 293–318Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 27 Núm. 2 (2023); 293–318Principia: an international journal of epistemology; v. 27 n. 2 (2023); 293–3181808-17111414-4247reponame:Principia (Florianópolis.
