    Steps Toward Dynamic Externalism
    (Universidad del Valle, 2022) López García, Rodolfo; Tovar Bohórquez, José Oliverio
    Putnam's semantic externalism and Burge's anti-individualism are influential approaches to meanings and contents in the philosophy of mind and language. They maintain that groups of experts unidirectionally establish meanings and concepts. Deferer and deferee perspectives have yielded further developments in that externalist metasemantics. However, those advancements have been established from a synchronic and static view of them. In this way, our research initially focuses on aspects of the deferer perspective and how it can be directed toward different language sources. Then, we state that in technical meanings and concepts, deference is mainly directed to knowledge fields and is multiple-way directed to them and particulars. For kind term uses that cross technical and lexical meaning, we state that deference could be multiple different-way directed and compose synthetic meanings and concepts. After that, based on Cappelen's externalist conceptual engineering view on the metasemantic base, we propose taking the deferee perspective as a metasemantic base but emphasizing a diachronic perspective in which meanings and concepts can change to establish some steps toward a dynamic view of externalism. Though our research proposes elements that help view externalism from a dynamic perspective from deferers and deferees, it remains an upcoming approach that consistently links both parts
