Self/semantic diagnosis/Nagel/Stalnaker: NagelVsSemantic diagnosis: the semantic diagnosis is unsatisfactory. VsOntological solution: the ontological solution wants to enrich the objective, centerless world in the wrong way.
Nagel: center position thesis: there is an objective self. StalnakerVsNagel: the semantic diagnosis has more potential than Nagel thinks. Simple solution: we need context-dependent or subjective information.
I 255
Belief/conviction/Stalnaker: beliefs are sets of uncentered possible worlds. They are a self-attribution of property.
>Self/Nagel.

Objective self/modest semantic view/Stalnaker: the objective self dispenses with subjective content that would be more than self-localization - there is no realm of subjective facts.
Cf. >Centered worlds, >Subjectivity, >Objectivity/Nagel.

Then one would have to know what it is like for Napoleon to be Napoleon if all the facts are considered.
