"But it’s fallibilism, not relativism, that gives us pause by reminding us we may be wrong."
Timothy Williamson is a pre-eminent analytic philosopher and leading authority in logic, language, and metaphysics. He served as the Wykeham Professor of Logic at Oxford from 2000 to 2023 and is currently a Senior Research and Teaching Fellow at New College, Oxford.
A Fellow of the British Academy and a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Science, Williamson has published several foundational books, including Knowledge and Its Limits, Vagueness, and The Philosophy of Philosophy. His "knowledge-first" epistemology rejected the orthodox view of knowledge in philosophy, instead arguing that knowledge is a foundational concept which cannot be broken down further.
