2. Reason / E. Argument / 1. Argument
18405 A 'teepee' argument has several mutually supporting planks to it
16. Persons / C. Self-Awareness / 2. Knowing the Self
18421 Proprioception is only immune from error if you are certain that it represents the agent
18422 Prioprioception focuses on your body parts, not on your self, or indexicality
18425 We can acquire self-knowledge with mirrors, not just with proprioception and introspection
17. Mind and Body / C. Functionalism / 1. Functionalism
18419 Folk Functionalism is a Ramsification of our folk psychology
18. Thought / A. Modes of Thought / 9. Indexical Thought
18407 Indexicality is not significantly connected to agency
18404 It is assumed that indexical content is needed to represent the perspective of perception
18426 All information is objective, and purely indexical information is not much use
18427 If some of our thought is tied to its context, it will be hard to communicate it
18428 You don't remember your house interior just from an experienced viewpoint
18429 Our beliefs and desires are not organised around ourselves, but around the world
19. Language / C. Assigning Meanings / 5. Fregean Semantics
18413 Fregeans can't agree on what 'senses' are
19. Language / C. Assigning Meanings / 8. Possible Worlds Semantics
18417 Possible worlds accounts of content are notoriously coarse-grained
19. Language / C. Assigning Meanings / 9. Indexical Semantics
18423 All indexicals can be expressed non-indexically
18408 Indexicals are just non-constant in meaning, and don't involve any special concepts
18414 Fregeans say 'I' differs in reference, so it must also differ in sense
19. Language / F. Communication / 5. Pragmatics / a. Contextual meaning
18406 The basic Kaplan view is that there is truth-conditional content, and contextual character
18411 It is proposed that a huge range of linguistic items are context-sensitive
20. Action / C. Motives for Action / 2. Acting on Beliefs / b. Action cognitivism
18420 We deny that action involves some special class of beliefs
