Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Philosophy (Arts and Sciences).
In this thesis I develop the skeptical problem of sense and show that two attempts to address this problem either self-defeat or are self-referentially inconsistent. The skeptical problem of sense is developed by reconstructing and analyzing the disagreement over mental content between Paul Churchland and Lynne Baker. The first response to the skeptical problem of sense is developed from Donald Davidson’s attack on the scheme-content distinction. The second response is developed from Robert Fogelin and Daniele Moyal-Sharrock’s Wittgensteinian theories of disagreement.
