Abstract
The major issue of the present article is to explain McDowell’s attempt to determine the conditions which knowledge must satisfy if it is to be an objective knowledge, and to explain McDowell’s proving procedure of how our intellectual activity can make us answerable to reality. By explaining these conditions, in fact, McDowell’s solution to the epistemological problem of relationship between mind and world is clarified. In this respect, his ideas along two axes are put forward: first, his therapeutic analysis about the causes that generate this problem; and second, his positive ideas that represent his specific attitude toward the world, mind, naturalism in philosophy of mind, and the position of experience in the system of justification.
