摘要:否定问题作为弗雷格-吉奇问题的分支,对于非认知主义者来说十分棘手,吉伯德方案作为一种成熟的仿 实在论(quasi-realism)也面临着这方面的质疑。在诸多质疑中,唯独尼古拉斯·厄温(Nicholas Unwin)和 詹姆斯·德雷尔(James Dreier)的被吉伯德点名直接做出回应。这篇文章聚焦于否定问题,做出以下四点贡献 (并非按照论文行文顺序展示):第一,试着讨论吉伯德的批评者有哪些论证没有他们设想的那样有效,比如过 于琐碎、有过强的预设或者模糊的定义;第二,在将这些针对吉伯德的论证整理清晰之后,甚至会发现这些论证 甚至比作者们自己设想的还要有效——不仅适用于吉伯德甚至可以扩展到所有非认知主义;第三,进一步补充批 评者没有发现的吉伯德式语义学关于否定问题的漏洞,甚至比厄温和德雷尔指出的漏洞还要严重;第四,吉伯德 在对相关问题做出回应时,有些回应只是一笔带过,而本文将会展开进行论证,此外吉伯德的有些回应方式并不 是唯一的回应方式,本文也会进行补充。

(b)对应“ According to n: it is not the case that it is obligatory that p (briefly: it is n-not-obligatory that p)”
