Good luck with whatever is ahead! :) Have you tried online tutors who offer one-to-one lessons? In my experience they aren't cheap but they may be good for both a crash course and more in depth learning

More concretely, it may be useful to try to summarise structure and contributions of the dissertation in a two-page handout, and go over it before the day of the viva. During the discussion, not being defensive and being open to criticisms may also be a good idea.

110

Dario Mortini @dariomortini.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

I found it helpful to approach the whole thing by seeing it as an opportunity to discuss topics I've been thinking about with people I could learn a lot from rather than as an examination. Having this perspective calmed me, and also helped me to enjoy it.

110

Dario Mortini @dariomortini.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

I think this difference is relevant to assess both different versions of the heuristics methods and his recent arguments, but I still haven't managed to pin point exactly why.

120

Dario Mortini @dariomortini.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

The method is not new: psychological invariantists made similar moves to explain contextualist data (Vogel 1990, Hawthorne 2004,, Nagel 2010, Gerken 2013...). A striking difference, though, is that Williamson posits heuristics instead of drawing on independently documented psychological phenomena

120

Dario Mortini @dariomortini.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Thanks for your interest, Matt! Just coincidentally, next week I'll give a co-authored presentation on the heuristics method, so I've been thinking a bit about it recently...

Dario Mortini @dariomortini.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

But overall I really enjoyed thinking and writing about this topic, and I hope I'll get the chance to do it again in the future! :)

Dario Mortini @dariomortini.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

It hasn't been easy to work on this paper. The norm of assertion literature is unwieldy, and it's tricky to evaluate the (in)felicity of some sentences when English is not your native language. Thankfully, I got help from referees, and also from friends and colleagues.

Dario Mortini @dariomortini.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

For those who might be interested: I have a new paper forthcoming in Erkenntnis. It's about whether linguistic data on hedging support the popular knowledge norm of assertion (spoiler: it's not so clear that they do). philpapers.org/rec/MOREHA-6

Thanks, this helps! I'm aware that K5 and K6 serve a different dialectical purpose in the McK&T paper, but I wanted to bring them up to consider more possible cases 'I know' parentheticals as strength modifiers. The aside is very much on point, those clauses are a cliché in philosophical writing :)

110

Dario Mortini @dariomortini.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

This is a great paper and I think that your examples are relevant. Quick (and maybe naive) question related to the mini-lit you mention: couldn't we also appeal to McKinnon and Turri's examples to show that 'I know' parentheticals can actually modify strength? Do you hear K5 and K6 as stronger?
