Thomas Nagel on Scheme/Content - Dictionary of Arguments
I 50ff NagelVs alternative conceptual schemes: There are such schemes where we cannot even get out if we look at ourselves from the outside as thinking beings. Therefore, the idea of a different kind of consciousness or conceptual scheme contributes nothing to distance ourselves from such thoughts. (VsScheme) I 51ff DavidsonVs alternative conceptual schemes (similar to Nagel): I must capture the alien consciousness using the categories of my own. >Other minds. But that’s not the whole point: rather, it is the real content of certain ideas about the world, and certain forms of thought that determines the conditions of the interpretation: nothing that does not fufil these conditions could be considered thinking. >Thinking/Nagel.
