Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-08 00:00:00 Jenny Hayden Dualists made mistakes. No actual I exists seperately from my body. No definable subject nesting within, seeing through my eyes, hearing through my ears, and most especially not touching through my skin. What Kant et al insist upon is a logical generalized form of subjectivity, but in the actual world my body is necessary to my I, or else I'd have no access to that spatial and temporal unity that makes personal experience possible. Physical experience is immune to misidentification relative to the first person prounoun. This holds even if I hook my brain up to a second person who goes and looks at the marble arch, and thereby believe that I am at the marble arch. The situation here is not that I know that someone is standing in front of the marble arch, and mistakenly identify that someone as myself. I don't know anything and am under a complete illusion, so my error is not one of misidentification. (Cassam got that argument from Gareth Evans) Subjectivity is objectivity from the inside. Objectivity is subjectivity from the outside. There is no absolute split.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-24 00:00:00 Christopher Drake This book is mostly about self-awareness--that is, awareness of the self--and other issues having to do with indexicals and the first-person. I know of no collection that has a better, more representative sample of articles on the subject. It's a great book.
