分析哲学中关于狭义内容的争论

Debates on Narrow Content in the Analytic Philosophy

本文首先介绍了分析哲学中关于狭义内容的争论及其历史背景,然后讨论了近期两种对狭义内容最有影响的辩护。这两种辩护分别代表了关于心灵内容和语义内容的极端内在论和温和内在论。文章努力分析了这两种理论各自的优点和缺陷,以便对狭义内容问题向我们提出的哲学挑战有一个清楚的认识。

This paper first introduces the historical background concerning the debates on narrow content in the analytic philosophy; it then discusses two recent defenses of narrow content that are most influential. These two defenses represent, respectively, the radical internalism and the moderate internalism concerning mental content and semantic content. The paper attempts to analyze the merits and defects of these two theories so that we can have a clear understanding of the philosophical challenges posed by the problem of narrow content.
