Self-knowledge has always been a central topic of philosophical
inquiry. It is hard to think of a major philosopher, from ancient
times to the present, who refrained from pronouncing on the nature,
the importance, or the limitations of one's knowing of oneself as
oneself. What makes self-knowledge such a perplexing phenomenon?
The essays featured in this collection seek to deepen our
understanding of self-knowledge, to solve some of the genuine (and
to resolve some of the spurious) problems that hold back
philosophical progress on that front, and to assess the value of
some classic moves in the debate over the epistemic status of
self-ascriptions. Some of the chapters discuss features of
self-knowledge that appear to account for its unique - and, in that
sense, peculiar - status; some advance straight for solving crucial
problems; and others take a step back to consider the terms in
which we set the questions to which a philosophical theory of
self-knowledge is to provide the answer. Through their rigorous
argumentation regarding the issues of reflection, introspection,
deliberation, rationality, belief-formation, and epistemic warrant,
the contributors illustrate how the specific problems that surround
the topic of self-knowledge, instead of being approached as
peripheral cases to which ready-made epistemological theories can
be applied, may themselves illuminate some fundamental issues in
the theory of knowledge.
