Alexander Jackson Abstract: Rampant non-factualism is the view that all non-fundamental matters are non-factual, in a sense inspired by Kit Fine (2001). The first half of this paper argues that if we take non-factualism seriously for any matters, such as morality, then we should take rampant non-factualism seriously. The second half of the paper argues that rampant non-factualism makes possible an attractive theory of vagueness. We can give non-factualist accounts of non-fundamental matters that nicely characterize the vagueness they manifest (if any). I suggest that such nonfactualist theories dissolve philosophical puzzlement about vagueness. In particular, the approach implies that philosophers should not try to say which of the sorites-paradox-forming claims are true; we should not try to solve the sorites paradox in that sense.

猖獗的非事实主义:一种形而上学的框架及其对模糊性的处理

亚历山大·杰克逊 摘要:猖獗的非事实主义是一种观点,即所有非基本问题都是非事实的,在某种意义上受到 Kit Fine (2001) 的启发。本文前半部分认为,如果我们在道德等任何问题上认真对待非事实主义,那么我们就应该认真对待猖獗的非事实主义。论文的后半部分认为,猖獗的非事实主义使一个有吸引力的模糊理论成为可能。我们可以给出非基本问题的非事实主义描述,很好地描述它们所表现出的模糊性(如果有的话)。我建议这种非事实主义的理论可以解决关于模糊性的哲学困惑。尤其是,这种方法意味着哲学家不应该试图说出哪些自相矛盾形成的主张是正确的;我们不应该试图解决这个意义上的 sorites 悖论。
