16374	There is a continuum from acquaintance to description in knowledge, depending on the link [Recanati]
	Full Idea: It is not too difficult to imagine a continuum of cases between straightforward instances of knowledge by acquaintance and straightforward instances of knowledge by description, with more or less tenuous informational links to the referent.
	From: François Recanati (Mental Files [2012], 12.2)

11. Knowledge Aims / C. Knowing Reality / 4. Solipsism

21227	The Cogito demands a bridge to the world, and ends in isolating the ego [Velarde-Mayol]
	Full Idea: All philosophies inspired in the Cogito have the problem of building a bridge from the starting point of consciousness to the external world. The result of this is the isolation and solitude of the very ego.
	From: Victor Velarde-Mayol (On Husserl [2000], 4.7.2)
	A reaction: This strikes me as a pretty good reason not to develop a philosophy which is inspired by the Cogito.
