Synopsis

David Lewis proposes his own version of contextualism. Here's the first paragraph:
We know a lot. I know what food penguins eat. I know that phones used to ring, but nowadays squeal, when someone calls up. I know that Essendon won the 1993 Grand Final. I know that here is a hand, and here is another.
