Description
This collection of thirteen new essays explores the implications of semantic externalism for self-knowledge and skepticism. Recent developments in the philosophy of mind, language, and epistemology are brought to bear on the issue, examining topics such as 2D semantics, transparency views of self-knowledge, and theories of linguistic understanding.
Structured into three parts, the volume looks at self-knowledge, content transparency, and then meta-semantics and the nature of mental content. The chapters cover a range of debates in epistemology, including contextualism, contrastivism, pragmatic encroachment, anti-luminosity arguments, and testimony.
Graduate students and researchers in epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, cognitive science, psychology, and linguistics will find the scope of this volume appealing.
