Abstract

Near the end of ‘Naming the Colours’, Lewis (1997) makes an interesting claim about the relationship between linguistic and mental content; we are typically unable to read the content of a belief off the content of a sentence used to express that belief or vice versa. I call this view ‘autonomism’. I motivate and defend autonomism and discuss its importance in the philosophy of mind and language. In a nutshell, I argue that the different theoretical roles that mental and linguistic content play suggest these kinds of content should be understood as sensitive to different things.

在《命名颜色》的结尾，Lewis（1997）对语言内容和心理内容之间的关系提出了一个有趣的主张；我们通常无法从用来表达信念的句子中读出信念的内容，反之亦然。我称这种观点为“自主主义”。我激励和捍卫自主主义，并讨论它在思想和语言哲学中的重要性。简言之，我认为心理和语言内容所扮演的不同理论角色表明，这类内容应该被理解为对不同事物敏感。
