语义外在论认为，某些词语和思想的内容部分取决于使用它们的人的外在属性。与普遍持有的内在主义学说不同，外在主义者认为，并非所有的心理内容都是心灵的局部。然而，在一些哲学家看来，这种观点似乎与我们关于自我认识的普通直觉不一致。这本书表明，关于外在主义和自我知识的兼容性的争论已经导致了对各种主题的调查，包括先验，认知保证的传递，乞求问题的推理和自然类术语的语义学，以及对认识论，心灵哲学和语言哲学至关重要的其他问题。书中的文章清楚地表明，外在主义和自我认识提出了许多问题，回答这些问题有许多途径。编辑声称，处理相互竞争的论点的最好方法是遵循一个教条式保守主义原则，该原则建议，在可能的情况下，人们应该倾向于最好地容纳所有最受欢迎的直觉的策略。
Semantic externalism is the thesis that the contents of some words and thoughts depend in part on properties external to the person who entertains them. In a departure from the widely held doctrine of internalism, externalists maintain that not all mental content is local to the mind. That view, however, seems to some philosophers to be at odds with our ordinary intuitions about self-knowledge. This book shows that the debate over the compatibility of externalism and self-knowledge has led to the investigation of a variety of topics, including the a priori, transmission of epistemic warrant, question-begging reasoning, and the semantics of natural-kind terms, as well as other issues crucial to epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language. The essays in the book make clear that externalism and self-knowledge raise many questions and that there are many paths to answering them. The best way to deal with the competing arguments, the editor claims, is to follow a principle of doxastic conservatism, which recommends that, when possible, one should favor the strategy that best accommodates all of the most accepted intuitions at stake.
