| Exterior/interior, outside/inside (philosophy): the distinction is important in connection with statements. If the statement is made within a system, it can be problematic to make an assertion about the system with that statement. The distinction between outside and inside replaces in some theories, e.g. in the system theory, the distinction between form and content. This is to avoid the counterintuitive acceptance of a content without form or a form without content. See also form, content, circularity, systems, theories, mereology, system theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Barry Stroud on Exterior/interior - Dictionary of Arguments
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._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
