| I, philosophy: A) The expression of a speaker for the subject or the person who is herself. The use of this expression presupposes an awareness of one's own person. B) The psychical entity of a subject that is able to relate to itself.
C. Self, philosophy the concept of the self cannot be exactly separated from the concept of the I. Over the past few years, more and more traditional terms of both concepts have been relativized. In particular, a constant nature of the self or the I is no longer assumed today. See also brain/brain state, mind, state of mind, I, subjects, perception, person._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Ludwig Wittgenstein on I, Ego, Self - Dictionary of Arguments
Frank I 38ff I/Wittgenstein: Object-use by means of external characteristics: To erroneously believe a bump on the forehead - subject-use: immediately, no criteria, no self-identification no error possible. - Genitive subjectivus: Statement of the person, not about people - no characterization, no error. >Incorrigibility, >self-identification. Frank I 43 I/Wittgenstein: "I have a toothache" and "He has a toothache" are not values of a common propositional function. - "I have a toothache" denotes no owner. Sydney Shoemaker (I968): Self-Reference and Self-Awareness, in: Journal of Philosophy 65 (1968), 555-578 --- Hintikka I 99 Nature/property/possession/Wittgenstein: de facto, but not essential relationship. The relation of possession is not part of the essence of objects. One of these objects is also the empirical ego. In this sense, Wittgenstein says: "The solipsism coincides with pure realism". >Solipsism. --- Wittgenstein II 226 I/WittgensteinVsDescartes "I" has no outstanding position among the words - it is simply used in the language practice. >Use, >Practise, >Language. --- Wittgenstein IV 91 I/Tractatus/Wittgenstein: 5631 there is no sense in which in the philosophy can be talked non-psychologically about the ego - the philosophical ego is not the human - not the body - 5.64 it shrinks to a point - to this point reality is coordinated - the subject is the limit of the world - with that it can be shown that solipsism is correct. - But it is not impossible to say it._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
