In Self-Knowledge and Resentment, Akeel Bilgrami argues that
self-knowledge of our intentional states is special among all the
knowledges we have because it is not an epistemological notion in
the standard sense of that term, but instead is a fallout of the
radically normative nature of thought and agency. Four themes or
questions are brought together into an integrated philosophical
position: What makes self-knowledge different from other forms of
knowledge? What makes for freedom and agency in a deterministic
universe? What makes intentional states of a subject irreducible to
its physical and functional states? And what makes values
irreducible to the states of nature as the natural sciences study
them? This integration of themes into a single and systematic
picture of thought, value, agency, and self-knowledge is essential
to the book's aspiration and argument. Once this integrated
position is fully in place, the book closes with a postscript on
how one might fruitfully view the kind of self-knowledge that is
pursued in psychoanalysis.
