Are extensional and intensional definitions related to outside views and inside views? I suppose extensional definitions and outside view are about drawing conclusions from a class of things, while the intensional and inside use specific details more unique to the thing in question.
It seems to me that they are at least somewhat related. Recently, I’ve been wondering to which degree extensional/intensional definitions, the outside/inside view and the near/far view might be different ways of looking at the same two modes of reasoning.
(I had a longer post of it in mind, and thought I had come up with something important, but now I’ve forgotten what the important part of it was. :-( )
