9. Answer only one of the questions below:
1. Clark and Chalmers distinguish their active externalism from externalism about content (or reference). They say that in the latter (about content), external features are passive. By contrast, in their kind of externalism, the external features are active. What do they mean by this, and why does it matter?
2. What is “the vision of [] the Naked Mind”? How do Clark and Chalmers respond to this objection?
3. As Clark and Chalmers note, one might be tempted to treat Otto’s dispositional beliefs
differently than Inga’s. But they think at least one strategy for doing so takes “one step too many.” What is this strategy and how do Clark and Chalmers respond?
4. Clark and Chalmers note a number of shallow differences between Otto and Inga. Do you agree that these are shallow differences?
