| dc.description.abstract | As it is silly to ask somebody,‘How do you know you are in pain?’ it is equally
foolish to ask, ‘How do you know that you want to go to the movies?’
Vendler, Res Cogitans
Knowing that one wants to go to the movies is an example of self-knowledge, knowledge
of one’s mental states. It may be foolish to ask the man on the Clapham Omnibus how he
knows what he wants, but the question is nonetheless important — albeit neglected by
epistemologists. This paper attempts an answer. | en_US |
