Additional information

This paper was first read at the 1988 Annual Meeting of the International Institute of Philosophy in Stockholm, Sweden. The theme of the meeting was ‘Descartes and the Contemporary Philosophy of Mind’, which helped to explain the angle of my approach and the first few sentences of the paper. Morally, this paper thus should appear with the rest of the proceedings of the Stockholm meeting in a later number of this journal. However, the interrelations of my paper and Lucia Vaina's are so close that it makes best sense to publish them together.

Meanwhile, an earlier version of this paper has appeared in Jaakko Hintikka and Merill B. Hintikka: 1989, The Logic of Epistemology and the Epistemology of Logic, Kluwer, Dordrecht.
