Thinking Animals and the Reference of ‘I’
Philosophical Topics 30 (1):189-207 (2002)
Abstract
In this essay I explore the idea that the solution to some important problems of personal identity lies in the philosophy of language: more precisely in the nature of first-person reference. I will argue that the “linguistic solution” is at best partly successful.Author's Profile
