Connection between externalism in the philosophy of mind and foundational beliefs in epistemology. Brief response with relevant literature suggestions.

Is the philosophical doctrine known as "externalism" or "anti-individualism" have any implications for "foundational beliefs".

Wittgenstein illuminates epistemological issues surrounding language by talking of communities, language games and skepticism.

(From an essay in process, about process!) I sketch what I think a dispositional model involves; then consider Kripke's dismissal of dispositional explanations in the context of Wittgenstein's skeptical paradox. It seems to me that Wittgenstein does not attempt to elude or confront skeptical conclusions. His arguments and style of argumentation insist upon the community centered nature of language - and, I suggest, the backdrop continuum of meaningful experiences. This has profound implications for notions of persons, agency and rationality
