But the "phenomenlogical" (if I can use that word) treatment of memory-as-a-mode-of-perception-of-components-of-self is something that I continue to find very interesting.I think my background in late 19th century and 20th century empiricist-informed anti-Cartesian approaches to perception and to metaphysics (eg Language, Truth and Logic and later work by Ayer; Russell's neutral monism; related ideas coming out of the Vienna Circle; etc) is part of what informs my scepticism about a strong internal/external divide in RPG narration.I've also noticed over the last 10 or so pages of this thread multiple posters rejecting the idea of a shared fiction. I think this somewhat solipsistic approach is at odds with arguments for publicity found (in various forms) in GE Moore, AJ Ayer, Otto Neurath and (most famously, though in my own view not most powerfully) in Wittgenstein. And beyond the "classical" thinkers found in Dummett and Putnam.As the previous paragraph implies, I don't find the arguments against shared fiction very persuasive.</blockquote>
