PROBLEM OF REFERENCE CHARACTERISTICS OF STATEMENTS IN H. PUTNAM’S THEORETICAL MODEL "BRAIN IN A VAT"

Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of reference characteristics of statements within the framework of H. Putnam’s mental experiment "brain in a vat", according to whom the assumption that we are brains in a vat cannot be true, as it is self-controversial. This point of view is denied by D. Chalmers, who believes that our statements and statements of brain in a vat refer to different objects - components of reality and elements of the computer model, respectively. On the basis of the research, the following conclusion is drawn: it does not matter, which of the hypotheses about fundamental foundations of the world we accept: this does not affect characteristics of the majority of our statements.
Key words and phrases: теоретическая модель, мозг в бочке, референциальные характеристики, автореферентность, скептическая гипотеза, theoretical model, brain in a vat, referential characteristics, autoreference, skeptical hypothesis
