Summary

Compatibilism between externalist theses and rational-internalist intuitions (about meaning, knowledge, epistemic justification). Transparency of representational content. Non-reducibility of the referential semantic function. Discriminatory abilities required for knowledge and singular individuation. Development and application of Peacocke’s theory of concepts and apriority. Necessary conditions for the use of proper names and their transmission, relevant for the acquisition of knowledge by testimony. Relations between mental and linguistic representations.
