Sommario/riassunto

Die Debatte zwischen Internalismus und Externalismus steht im Brennpunkt der Aufmerksamkeit sowohl in der Epistemologie als auch in der Philosophie des Geistes und der Sprache. Der Externalismus fordert grundlegende traditionelle Auffassungen der Natur der Erkenntnis, der Rechtfertigung, des Denkens und der Sprache heraus. Auf dem Spiel steht nichts Geringeres als die Form, die Theorien in der Epistemologie und der Philosophie des Geistes annehmen sollten. Dieser Band ist eine Sammlung von Originalbeiträgen international führender Autoren, die den Forschungs- und Diskussionsstand hinsichtlich der faszinierenden Kontroversen zwischen Internalismus und Externalismus widerspiegeln.

The debate between internalism and externalism has become a focal point of attention both in epistemology and in the philosophy of mind and language. Externalism challenges basic traditional internalist conceptions of the nature of knowledge, justification, thought and language. What is at stake, is the very form that theories in epistemology and the philosophy of mind ought to take. This volume is a collection of original contributions of leading international authors reflecting on the present state of the art concerning the exciting controversies between internalism and externalism.
