Anita Avramides on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
I 96 Def Superficial Epistemic Asymmetry//Avramides: Thesis: that we can solve the problem of Radical Interpetation by understanding the foreign language through firstly learning the beliefs and intentions Epistemic asymmetry: that thoughts could be known without language. ((s) Without language, because the psychological concepts are more fundamental). >Radical Interpetation. I 103 From the perspective of radical interpretation, there is no asymmetry between the psychological and the semantic side. I 107 ff Cartesianism/Asymmetry/Avramidis: the Cartesianism is an older tradition of deep epistemic asymmetry. Ontological symmetry: the mental and the material are on the same level. Deep epistemic asymmetry/Avramides: if we could recognize the intangible substance, we could recognize foreign intentions without language. I 130 Deep epistemic symmetry/Avramides: does not include ontological symmetry (despite Davidson). - The right (subjective) image of the mind requires the semantic and the psychological to be understood on the same level. I125 Reductionism/Antireductionism/Avramides: both are not separated by the dispute over ontological asymmetry, both could accept ontological symmetry like asymmetry. - It is really about deep epistemic asymmetry._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
