Debating Self-Knowledge

Language Users Ordinarily Suppose That They Know What Thoughts Their Own Utterances Express. We Can Call This Supposed Knowledge Minimal Self-Knowledge. But What Does It Come To? And Do We Actually Have It? Anti-Individualism Implies That The Thoughts Which A Person''S Utterances Express Are Partly Determined By Facts About Their Social And Physical Environments. If Anti-Individualism Is True Then There Are Some Apparently Coherent Sceptical Hypotheses That Conflict With Our Supposition That We Have Minimal Self-Knowledge. In This Book Anthony Brueckner And Gary Ebbs Debate How To Characterize This Problem And Develop Opposing Views Of What It Shows. Their Discussion Is The Only Sustained In-Depth Debate About Anti-Individualism Scepticism And Knowledge Of One''S Own Thoughts And Will Interest Both Scholars And Graduate Students In Philosophy Of Language Philosophy Of Mind And Epistemology.
