Causal Theory/content/Stalnaker: N.B.: the facts about my connection to Cicero do not belong to the content.
>Content.
The causal theory here is not a theory that the speaker has about himself/herself but that a statement has a specific content and is a function of facts about how the world is. If the world had been different, the sentence about Cicero would have been about another person.
>counterfactual conditional.
This does not tie us to a causal theory. Then we can explain errors more easily.
>Errors, >Explanations.},
