The prerequisite for self-consciousness is consciousness of external and internal processes as well as the ability to differentiate between these two sources of influences. See also identification, self-identification, self, I, consciousness, individuation, identity, person._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

| Frank I 41ff Self-consciousness/Strawson: M-predicates: do not presuppose consciousness to which they are attributed - P-predicates: (psychological): imply that the person to whom they are attributed, knows this - Definition P*-predicates/Shoemaker: it is impossible that any other subject, except me, can have certain properties. --- Strawson I 130 I/self-consciousness/Strawson: previously only: all my experiences are specifically related to the body M, this one is distinguished by that - but the same goes for all other bodies in each case - problem: what does the word "mine" has to do in it? --- I 131 Uniqueness of the body is no guarantee of Cartesian soul - solution: we must recognize the concept of the person as a primitive (but not fundamental) concept._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
