Discrimination is a central epistemic capacity but typically, theories of discrimination only use discrimination as a vehicle for analyzing knowledge. This paper aims at developing a self-contained theory of discrimination. Internalist theories of discrimination fail since there is no compelling correlation between discriminatory capacities and experiences. Moreover, statistical reliabilist theories are also flawed. Only a modal theory of discrimination is promising. Versions of sensitivity and adherence that take particular alternatives into account provide necessary and sufficient conditions on discrimination. Safety in contrast is not sufficient for discrimination as there are cases of safety that are clearly instances of discrimination failure. The developed account of discrimination between objects will be extended to discrimination between kinds and between types.
辨别是一种核心的认知能力，但通常情况下，辨别理论仅将辨别用作分析知识的一种手段。本文旨在构建一种独立的辨别理论。内在主义的辨别理论是失败的，因为在辨别能力与经验之间不存在令人信服的关联。此外，统计可靠主义理论也存在缺陷。只有一种模态辨别理论是有前景的。考虑到特定替代项的敏感性和坚持性版本为辨别提供了必要且充分的条件。相比之下，安全性对于辨别而言并不充分，因为存在一些明显属于辨别失败情形的安全案例。所构建的关于对象间辨别的论述将扩展至类别间和类型间的辨别。
