Abstract
I suppose I'm writing these comments because David Lewis was unavailable. By rights, he should surely have the first opportunity to respond to Prof. Fogelin's paper. What's more, although there is perhaps some possible world in which the counterpart of Jay Rosenberg is also the counterpart of David Lewis, this isn't it. I admire the ingenuity of Lewis's epistemological views, but I don't endorse them. Still, a commentator's role typically requires that he at least try to uphold the honor of a criticized view, and so I shall first try to say something useful about what is at issue between Professors Lewis and Fogelin that may partially ameliorate the force of the latter's critique of the former. Then I shall turn to some questions suggested by Prof. Fogelin's own positive views. My main thesis regarding Lewis's and Fogelin's epistemological views is that their similarities are perhaps more striking and more important than their differences. Fogelin explicitly cites Lewis's prima facie strongly externalist analysis of knowledge:
