This book studies the problem of acquaintance against the
background of a more general theory of intentionality. Much of the
relevant background is laid out in the book I wrote with Ronald
McIntyre, Husserl and Intentionality (1982). However, since this
book is not focussed on HusserI, I shall not assume the reader's
familiarity with the prior book or with HusserI's philosophy. (I
have sometimes referred to this book-in progress as Acquaintance;
I've rounded out the title a bit. ) of The initial inspiration for
this work, in the 1970's, was a confluence ideas from the logic of
perception and the logic of demonstratives, ideas in which I found
phenomenological inspiration. These included Jaakko Hintikka's
notion of perceptual individuation, Romane Clark's account of a
demonstrative element in perception, David Kaplan's analysis of the
meaning (character and content) of demonstratives, and Hector-Neri
Castaneda's notion of quasi-indicators. I would later add to the
list John Perry's appraisal of belief reports involving indexicals
(extending Castaneda's ideas) and Hilary Putnam's Twin Earth
thought-experiments (complementing Clark's and Kaplan's ideas of
the same vintage). I want to thank Chuck Dement and Ronald McIntyre
for their responses to the first draft. For many discussions of
issues addressed in the book I thank David Blinder, Hubert Dreyfus,
Dagfinn F llesdal, Jaakko Hintikka, David Kaplan, Ronald McIntyre,
Izchak Miller, Esa Saarinen, John Searle, and Peter Woodruff. I
have benefited also from colleagues and students too numerous to
name but deserving my thanks nonetheless. Philosophy is a
surprisingly communal affair."
