Roderick Chisholm on Acquaintance - Dictionary of Arguments

II 120
Acquaintance/Chisholm: "epistemic familiarity" ("epistemically close") - even without acquaintance, by source of information - then knowledge possible that it is one and the same, from acquaintance and from description. >Description
, >Knowledge, >Causal theory of knowledge.
II 125
"Epistemic familiarity" is only in special cases sufficient: in the purely referential ones.
II 123
Reference/acquaintance/description/BrandlVsChisholm: Problem: two kinds of unitary relation - that corresponds to the problem that the user can do both, attributional or referential reference. >Reference, >Attributive/referential.
II 124
BrandlVsChisholm: his error lies in the equation of "knowing" of objects with a knowledge which we can acquire in a purely linguistic way.
Epistemically close/Chisholm: more relationships to objects - it only appears to me - also knowing that. >Appearance.
BrandlVs: but that is only theoretical knowledge!
II 125
Sufficient only in purely referential cases.
