(Stingy bastards!) Could you email the PDF to me? I can’t get that article on JSTOR, because Warwick’s subscription to JSTOR doesn’t include access to the journal it’s in. (Stingy bastards!)

I think we should discuss his claims about the semantics of natural kind terms in some detail, because we have conflicting intuitions about it. I'll write some stuff on Burge's Twin Earth arguments too, because they don't depend on claims about the semantics of natural kind terms, so we needn't get stuck on Putnam if neither of us will budge! Finally, we should look at some general objections to externalism. The two which interest me the most are the arguments from self-knowledge and mental causation. Thanks very much for your comments on my post about Nagel and Wittgenstein on our mental concepts. I intend to answer your points in some detail, because it will help me with my dissertation. I'm spending far too much time blogging at the moment... Thanks. I’ll write some stuff on Putnam soon.

I've read all the posts, and they're all pretty interesting. I like this one because it clearly explains what content externalism is, which I've been trying to get my BPhil friend to explain for ages without luck. Glad to see you have a blog!
