Roderick Chisholm on Self- Identification - Dictionary of Arguments
I 37 Self-identification/Mach: E.g. "What a run-down a schoolmaster comes here." It was he himself, who saw himself in the mirror. I 40 Self-identification/Self/Chisholm: "he himself" only shifts the problem - differences: "There exists an x such that x thinks that x is wise, and he is x" - "There exists an x such that x thinks that x is wise and x is x"? - No clear formulation: the property of taking oneself to be wise - ChisholmVs: impossible proposition. I 41 Chisholm: "... that he is x" always implies that x is x, but not vice versa that x is he! >Identification, >Individuation. >Self-knowledge, >Self-ascription._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
