Self-knowledge is the focus of considerable attention from
philosophers: Knowing Our Own Minds gives a much-needed overview of
current work on the subject, bringing together new essays by
leading figures. Knowledge of one's own sensations, desires,
intentions, thoughts, beliefs, and other attitudes is
characteristically different from other kinds of knowledge, such as
knowledge of other people's mental attributes: it has greater
immediacy, authority, and salience. The first six chapters examine
philosophical questions raised by these features of self-knowledge.
The next two look at the role of our knowledge of our own
psychological states in our functioning as rational agents. The
third group of essays examine the tension between the distinctive
characteristics of self-knowledge and arguments that psychological
content is externally-socially and environmentally-determined. The
final pair of chapters extend the discussion to knowledge of one's
own language. Together these original, stimulating, and closely
interlinked essays demonstrate the special relevance of
self-knowledge to a broad range of issues in epistemology,
philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language.
