Meanings are located neither "inside" or "outside" the mind. Consciousness, the outside world, and language form a unity. In his investigation into externalist and internalist positions (e.g., Locke, Putnam, Kripke), Munz uses selected thought experiments to show that phenomenal and physicalist approaches by no means exclude each other; rather, when determining the meaning of linguistic signs, they can by all means complement each other.
