I 206
General/Special/skepticism/verificationism/generalization/interior/exterior/Stroud: With Descartes the special is representative and can therefore be generalized.
>René Descartes.
VerificationismVsGeneralization: Verificationism considers eneralization as suspicious: one should not apply statements of the system to the system itself.
>Verificationism, >Self-reference, >Cirular reasoning.
StroudVsCarnap: the problem interior/exterior is not the same as that of the general and special.
StroudVsCarnap: the sentence that Descartes does not know whether he is sitting by the fire is not meaningless, only in connection to the skeptical presumption that it is not verifiable.
>Senseless, >Verification.
Problem: the verificationism could come easily in the situation to have to assume that then all of our everyday language would be useless.
>Everyday language.
I 211
Naturalized epistemology/QuineVsCarnap/Stroud: denies the need for an external position - so that the interior/exterior-problem is avoided.
>Naturalized epistemology.
I 214
QuineVsKant: no a priori "knowledge".
>a priori, >a priori/Quine, >outside/inside/Carnap, >exterior/interior/Carnap.
