This explains why a competent and rational speaker who finds the sentence “Hesperus is Hesperus” trivial can find the sentence “Hesperus is Phosphorus” informative. This paper introduces a pragmatist account based on …

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between personal identity and the first-person perspective in light of Kant’s conception of a person. Following the rationalist tradition, Kant defines (psychological) personhood in terms of the consciousness of one’s own personal identity throughout time. While it is undisputed that Kant rejects the rationalist arguments …

One way of thinking of the fundamental rule of psychoanalysis, the injunction to free association, is as the throwing off limitations on self-expression. But I argue that, somewhat …

This paperrevisits that assumption. The suggestion is that the paradox stems more specificallyfrom our confusion about justification of beliefs, not justification toutcourt, …
