In Defence of Kripkenstein: On Lewis' Proposed Solution to the Sceptical Argument
International Journal of Philosophical Studies 20 (5):603-621 (2012)
| Abstract | Abstract In Wittgenstein: On Rules and Private Language, Saul Kripke argues for an extreme form of meaning scepticism. One influential reply to Kripke?s arguments was developed by David Lewis. The reply developed by Lewis makes use of the notion of mind-independent relations of similarity and difference. The aim of the paper is to argue that Lewis? reply is not satisfactory: the challenge to find a refutation of Kripke?s sceptical arguments remains unmet | |||||||||
