Gareth Evans on Incorrigibility - Dictionary of Arguments
Frank I 504ff Incorrigibility/Evans: the thesis of Incorrigibility is idealistic, when it proceeds from the self-construction of the world by us. On the other hand the ability to identify ourselves as an objective person, is not to be exploited in a verificationist manner. >Self-identification, >Self-knowledge. I 515 Immunity/Evans: Immunity against misidentification is a direct result of demonstrative identification - but it’s not about "identification". >First Person. Error: to believe that immunity was not extended to physical features. Gareth Evans(1982): Self-Identification, in: G.Evans The Varieties of Reference, ed. by John McDowell, Oxford/NewYork 1982, 204-266_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
