`Belief Retention: Kaplan vs. Frege`
Tuesday, 20 March, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
I propose a view of belief retention which enables us to account for the data brought up
by Kaplan in relation to the Rip Van Winkle case who slept for twenty years believing he
slept for only one day. After discussing this case, I make some general claims about
belief retention and end up claiming that it amounts to having a piece of empirical
information about the day remembered provided the subject does not make a division in her
input information.
