Abstract
Kevin Dorst (2019) uses the ‘manifest unassertability’ of conditionals of the form ‘If I don’t know p, then p’ as a new motivation for the KK thesis. In this paper we show that his argumentation is misguided. Plausible heuristics offer a compelling and nuanced explanation of the relevant infelicity data. Meanwhile, Dorst relies on tools that, quite independently of KK, turn out to be rather poor predictors of the infelicity of indicative conditionals.
Kevin Dorst(2019)使用“如果我不知道p，那么p”形式的条件的“明显不可断言性”作为KK论文的新动机。在本文中，我们证明他的论证是错误的。似是而非的启发式提供了一个令人信服和细致入微的解释相关的不可信数据。与此同时，Dorst所依赖的工具完全独立于KK，结果证明它们在指示性条件句的错误性预测上相当糟糕。
