摘要

我探讨了这种观点的动机和逻辑后果，即我们有一些(有限的)能力来了解关于未来的偶然事实，即使假设未来客观上是不确定的或不确定的。我首先正式描述一下对未来的怀疑。这种分析将反怀疑论者推向这样一种观点，即如果一些关于未来的命题在客观上是不确定的，那么一个适当定位的主体是否知道它们也可能是不确定的。

Human Foreknowledge

I explore the motivation and logical consequences of the idea that we have some (limited) ability to know contingent facts about the future, even in presence of the assumption that the future is objectively unsettled or indeterminate. I start by formally characterizing skepticism about the future. This analysis nudges the anti-skeptic towards the idea that if some propositions about the future are objectively indeterminate, then it may be indeterminate whether a suitably positioned agent knows them.
