Th...Hi Richard,<BR/><BR/>I've just read your response today. Thanks; I appreciate your criticism. I think you've brought up some interesting issues; I am still working a formal response.<BR/><BR/>The main worry I still have is that no theory of actuality (that I know of, maybe you could help me) has been understood in epistemic terms. Not that we couldn't come up with some theory of actuality that hashed actuality out in terms of our belief that some world is actual, but no one has yet done that yet (and it seems that if Chalmers wants to use the heuristic of 'considering as actual', he needs to provide such a theory). We intuitively don't think of actuality as being translated in terms of what we believe to be the case. So, it would seem that supporting some epistemic understanding of a theory of actuality would be no small task. <BR/><BR/>Jessicajessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233391438698958879noreply@blogger.com
