We seem to have private privileged access to our own minds through
introspection, but what exactly does this involve? Do we somehow
literally perceive our own minds, as the common idea of a 'mind's
eye' suggests, or are there other processes at work in our ability
to know our own minds? "Rethinking Introspection" offers a new
pluralist framework for understanding the nature, scope, and limits
of introspection. The book argues that, contrary to common
misconceptions, introspection does not consist of a single
mechanism but rather a diverse range of mental states and cognitive
processes with a broad spectrum of epistemic properties. Building
upon this revised conception of introspection, the book illustrates
and analyzes the variety of ways in which we introspectively grasp
the contents of our own minds, from the immediate phenomenal
knowledge generated by conscious experience to the self-deceptive
possibilities enabled by certain kinds of inner speech.
