Belief/Quine/Esfeld: a foundation is not possible because of the fundamental revisability of each belief. Confirmation holism: because individual belief can be justified only through experience, each belief can be revised (Type B).
>Foundation, >Experience.
Confirmation holism refers to the belief-system of an individual - that is justification holism. No belief can be a foundation (type A or B).
>Confirmation.
I 95ff
Intra-personnel problem: the changes of beliefs are a problem here. An inter-personnel problem is the communication (same meanings?). Inferential context: the inferential context is the linguistic use in the community. Contents: content will therefore not be determined in the system of beliefs, but externally. One should not ask which other beliefs the persons have but what they should have. Therefore, belief is not in the head. There are identity conditions for them (for intentional content there are no identity conditions).
>Content, >Identity conditions.
I 132ff
Beliefs/Esfeld: beliefs are a basic linguistic unity because they are the only ones which have the dual character: one can ask for reasons for them and they can even be given as reasons.
>Justification, >Reasons.
I 161ff
Belief/Esfeld: beliefs can result in determinations that go beyond what we are ready for -> answer dependence of our terms: something is only red if it appears red for normal observers under normal circumstances: "it belongs to the concept that ... ": is not a reduction on appearance. However answer dependence does not include characteristics in the recipient.
>Terminology/Esfeld, >Qualities/Esfeld.
