Sainsbury & Michael Tye provide an entirely new theory-called originalism- which provides simple & natural solutions to these puzzles & more. Originalisms central thesis is that concepts the constituents of thoughts are to be individuated by their origin rather than epistemically or semantically. The doctrine has further valuable consequences for the nature of thought our knowledge of our own thoughts the nature of experience the epistemology of perception-based beliefs & for arguments based on conceivability. Sainsbury & Tye argue that although thought is special there is no special mystery attaching to the nature of thought. Their account of the mind considers it as part of nature as opposed to something with supernatural powers-which means that human beings have more opportunities to make mistakes than many have liked to think. ...
