Anthony Kenny argued against viewing one part of this argument as skepticism about memory in his criticism of Norman Malcolm's analysis of it. Another work compares this argument to Hume's solution to the problem of causation, claiming that it shows how ordinary practices do not require the justification we think, even if we concede the impossibility of truth-conditions. The claim that this is a "skeptical solution to the skeptic's paradox" appears in a book that opens with the example of the (*) "quus function" and argues that it is a corollary of a larger argument about rule-following. That book is by Saul Kripke. The reader is asked to imagine a person who writes "S" every time he feels a sensation in its original formulation in Philosophical Investigations. For 10 points, name this argument by Ludwig Wittgenstein against a system of communication available to only one person.
