The Inner life (n.) differs from the outer in its logic, and that logic explains the expression; indeterminacy explains the word mental.
The Inner life (n.) and the outer, as a relation, are only a picture of the uncertainty of evidence, not its explanation; that an actor can play grief shows both doubt and reality.
The Inner life (n.) seems to be the outer when mien, gesture and circumstance are unambiguous; only an unreadable outer seems to hide an inner.
The Inner life (n.) and the outer stop counting as properties of evidence once the view that we guess others' minds from clues goes up in smoke.
Knowing (n.) applies only where error is ruled out or where there are clear rules of evidence.
Knowing (n.) is not a psychological state whose special features explain things; its logic is not that of a state.
Knowing (n.) is claimed of a well-known fact, as I know that is the Schneeberg, where saying I am certain would wrongly suggest doubt.
Knowing (n.) is a psychological concept of a different kind from being certain or believing, with evidence of a different kind.
Pain (n.) is a concept so woven into the most fundamental parts of our way of living that no legislator could abolish it.
Pain (n.) is ascribed not to every scream but to screams in hard-to-describe circumstances with hard-to-describe conduct, so the concept grows tangled.
Pain (n.) and pretence are concepts in which something turns out to be one or the other, even if not in every application.
Pain (n.) imagined as a named thing makes the concept look easy, when the concept of pain, like pretence, is only beginning to be investigated.
Pretending (n.) would be impossible if one could never know what another feels, since it means getting someone to guess wrongly.
Pretending (n.) pain is not expressed by I am feigning pain on a level with I am in pain, which is no utterance of feigning.
Pretending (n.) lies in the intention, since pain behaviour could be imitated exactly without pretending.
Pretending (n.) cannot be ruled out by looking into someone, for his secret thoughts, if in Chinese, would still leave the question of truthfulness.
Pretense (n.) is not present in a person like a feeling, but like a game, since even words to oneself have meaning only within a language-game.
Pretense (n.) has outward signs of its own, else we could not talk about it; we deal with patterns in the weave of life.
Pretense (n.) needs a wide variety of reactions and a child developed far enough, so simulating is not an experience.
Evidence (n.) sets the bounds of right and wrong in saying someone is in pain or pretending.
Evidence (n.) matters not because it makes another's experience only probable, but because we treat just these phenomena as evidence for something important.
Evidence (n.) about feeling fluctuates, an important part of our life, shown by countless configurations of smiling.
Privacy (n.) put as 'only I know what I think' means only that I think my own thoughts.
Privacy (n.) expresses the asymmetry of the game: the owner utters the inner, we believe him under conditions, and he cannot err.
Privacy (n.) on the snail-shell model has thoughts public when the head is out and private when pulled in.
Certainty (n.) attaches to propositions that look empirical, yet if one supposed them false one would have to mistrust all one's judgments.
Certainty (n.) is not a mental state or feeling; what matters is how one behaves, not the tone of voice one speaks in.
A Criteria (n.) may be lacking as certain even where there is certainty; certainty does not imply certain criteria.
A Criteria (n.) is not finally our determination but part of life, as with pain.
Seeing (n.) is no technical term of psychology any more than dog is of zoology; psychologists do not discover blindness or teach the word see.
Seeing (n.) and he sees are learned before one learns to distinguish seeing from blindness.
