Peter F. Strawson on Self- Identification - Dictionary of Arguments

Frank I 521
I/Self-Identification/Strawson: question: "Why are states of consciousness at all attributed to any subject and why are they attributed to exactly the same thing as certain physical properties?
>Particulars/Strawson
, >I, Ego, Self/Strawson, >Space/Strawson, >Body.
EvansVsStrawson: "natural little theory of our world":
1st "I take this to be true and am on place p, so this applies to p"
2nd conversely, "if this does not apply to p, I can not perceive it"
3rd "before I was at p, so now I still have to be at p".
