Tyler Burge on Deceptions - Dictionary of Arguments
Frank I 687 Deception/Descartes/Burge: Descartes points to a causal gap between the world and effects. Different external causes can produce the same effects. Descartes: the causes differ from what we think about them. Individualism: wants to conclude that our thoughts about the world are wrong. BurgeVsIndividualism: but we know what thoughts we have, even if they are false. I.e. we also know in counterfactual situations which thoughts we have. (Twin Earth). Anti-individualism thesis in counterfactual situations, however, we have different thoughts than in the current situation (twin earth). According to Descartes, anti-individualism must therefore be wrong. For individualism: >Internalism; cf. >Externalism.
