The property that for any game property φ, either player i has a strategy to force a set of histories satisfying φ, or player j has a strategy to force ¬φ; formally: {i}φ ∨ {j}¬φ
knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
Justified true belief — true belief that has been arrived at through the exercise of deliberative capacities, including comparison of and deliberation among alternatives.
semantic externalism(Referenced as a position supported by the water-is-H2O thesis; general treatment considered out of scope)
The thesis that the meaning or reference of terms is determined at least in part by factors external to the speaker's mind
triangulation(Davidson's transcendental argument for the existence of other minds and the external world)
Davidson's concept of a three-way causal interaction between two subjects and a shared object or stimulus, held to be necessary for determinate thought and meaning
