I thank Dagfinn Føllesdal for his helpful comments on the penultimate draft. The results presented here are developed in greater detail and in a broader context in my forthcoming book The Circle of Acquaintance. Please note: Besides the customary uses, quotation marks are frequently used in this essay to specify (not linguistic expressions but) mental contents, or structures of intentional mental states; the context will indicate how quotes are being used in a given instance. Cf. Smith and McIntyre (1982), pp. 187–194, on this use of quotes.
