This volume answers questions that lead to a clearer picture of
third-person self- knowledge, the self-interpretation it embeds,
and its narrative structure. Bringing together current research on
third-person self-knowledge and self-interpretation, the book
focuses on third-person self-knowledge, and the role that narrative
and interpretation play in acquiring it. It regards the
third-personal epistemic approach to oneself as a problem worthy of
investigation in its own right, and makes clear the relation
between third-person self-knowledge, self-interpretation, and
narrative capacities. In recent years, the idea that each person is
in a privileged position to acquire knowledge about her own mental
states has come under attack. A growing body of empirical research
has cast doubt upon the existence of what philosophers call 'first
person self-knowledge', i.e., knowledge about our mental states
that is often thought to be immediate, transparent, and
authoritative. This line of thought has led some philosophers to
claim that what seems to be 'first-person self-knowledge' is really
just 'third-person self-knowledge,' i.e., knowledge about our
mental states that is inferential, opaque, and fallible. This book
discusses challenges for first-person knowledge and explores the
true nature of third-person knowledge.
