Michael Esfeld on Experience - Dictionary of Arguments
I 64 Experience/Kuhn/Hanson: experience is conceptual and thus a theory-laden observation, therefore beliefs are not controlled from the outside. This leads to incommensurability (McDowellVs). >Incommensurability, >Theory ladenness, >Observation. I 191ff Experience/Esfeld: experience has the function to bring about changes in a belief system. Problems: a) experience itself is outside the belief system and b) experience is conceptual (contradiction). Solution/Sellars: the solution is rational control (restriction) by the way the conceptual content is shaped by dealing with the world - then we do not need Quine’s observation statements that are outside of holism. >Experience/Sellars._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
