Abstract

The picture of constraints from the world on our statements and
beliefs as constrains external to thought itself somehow encourage a distinction between matters of reason and matters of fact. This distinction seems crucial for some arguments in favour of some versions of externalism. In this paper, after considering how the distinction between matters of fact and matters of reason can be made, I put forward and recommend a form of externalism. I finish by articulating a specific holistic and externalist approach to the way our thoughts are constraint by the world.
