Kant: self-knowledge and rational agency
Descartes and Locke
Self-knowledge is purely
observational.
The introspecting subject may be
entirely passive.
內省，向內觀察，探照燈。

Kant
agential form of self-awareness.
能評估理由藉以修正信念的
agents

Kant: self-knowledge and rational agency
不是被動地察覺意識內容。
Combination，運用理性來評估自己的心智狀態
內容，而不是被動地接受。
 P. 47
When one is conscious of oneself by, …, “I exist as an
intelligence which is conscious solely of its power of
combination” of “the activity of the self”.
 The activity of the self: the agency involved here is
rational agency.

agential self-knowledge比
observational self-awareness更基本，
創造想法發起動作。
EX: 嫌疑犯有罪。
能被證據修正的才是信念。ACQ
和 INS可能會面臨，一方面相信有
罪，一方面沒有太多證據。
如果不能用後面的理由來修改信
念，就不是一個rational agent 。
理性上的責任。

Kant: self-knowledge and rational agency
Transcendental reasoning: 有self knowledge是事實，
如何使得self knowledge成為可能。
 Self knowledge之所以可能是能對信念負責，ought
imply can.
 I am led by reasons to discard or renew a belief.
 P. 48
the epistemic grounding for agential self-knowledge is not
empirical: it is not a matter of evidence gleaned from
introspection, or of the reliability of the introspective
process. Rather, it derives from our rational nature.

Wittgenstein’s doubts: privacy and
epistemic significance
對他人思維的知識是epistemic achievement.
 對自己思維的知識是common sense不需要依賴其他方法，
不是achievement(可能獲得或不獲得)。
 Wittgenstein’s reasoning
 The first step: we are ordinarily aware of what we are
thinking without needing to rely on the sorts of methods we
use to figure out what someone else is thinking. ,…, if selfknowledge qualifies as a genuine epistemic achievement, it
must be acquired through the use of some special epistemic
method, one that is exclusively first-personal. (P. 50)

Wittgenstein’s doubts: privacy and
epistemic significance

The second step of the reasoning: Wittgenstein denies that there is an
exclusively first-personal method for determining what I am thinking (the
Private Language Argument).
First person method壓過去相衝突的third person method結果。這樣的就
不可能出錯。
痛這個語詞的指涉是什麼，語言是normative，使用上有對有錯。私有語
言就無法有對錯。
有些哲學家認為報導主觀感受的語詞是private，當事者自己才知道。
Wittgenstein反對私有語言：沒有獨立的判準來評估使用的對錯，那就不
是語言，私有語言不是語言。
Ex: Beatle in the box 。Beatle這個概念有沒有任何指涉就不確定了。
如果first person特別處是private，private是無用的，那first person method
就喪失特殊地位。

Wittgenstein’s doubts: privacy and
epistemic significance
Wittgenstein: Whatever is going to seem right to me is right,
and that only means that here we can’t talk about “right.”
 如果self knowledge有特殊性，必需有gap。
 There is no gap between seeming right and being right.
But then my claim that I’m thinking about snow does not
constitute knowledge of a reality independent of my evidence,
and is therefore not an epistemic achievement.(p.51)

Body swap illusion





(Petkova and Ehrsson, 2008)
Experimenter wears helmet with two closed-circuit
television cameras (CCTV). Subject wears headmounted displays (HMD). The images from the CCTV
were presented to the HMDs.
Effect: shift of perspective—the subject visually
perceives himself rather than the experimenter.
Control Condition: asynchronous squeezing.
Illusion Condition: synchronous squeezing.
L & L (2011): the subjects misrepresent themselves as
squeezing their own hands.

Body swap illusion
In this case, the subjects’ agentive experience is mistaken. Although it was
really the experimenter who was shaking their hands, the subjects
misrepresented themselves as the agent of the action.
 We can agree that: (1) For every agentive experience there must be a
subject who experiences it. (2) Every agentive experience is in principle
available to introspection. (3) Every agentive experience is experienced by
the one who is currently introspecting it (at least “if the subject reflects”).
 Again, (1) ~ (3) together do not imply (4) Every agentive experience is,
from the first-person point of view, represented as experienced by the one
who is introspecting it.
 (4) does not hold in the body swap illusion, hence IEM fails. Mental
ownership is misrepresented.
