Alberto Voltolini, excerpt: Taken in their simplest versions,
externalism and internalism are the conceptions according to which,
pending on the broad vs. the narrow identification of an intentional
state, the content of such a state can legitimately be conceived only
either as relational or as non-relational respectively. For
externalists, the representational content of an intentional state
depends on a reality lying outside the subject of such a state. For
internalists, no external object or event which lies or occurs outside
a subject's brain (or at most its body) is relevant for the
individuation of the content of an intentional state.? To be sure,
however, different versions of both externalism and internalism are
possible..... http://host.uniroma3.it/progetti/kant/field/voltolini.html
