García-Carpintero, Manuel2017-01-312018-07-242017-01-240020-174Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/106300Inspired by Castañeda, Perry and Lewis argued that, among singular thoughts in general, thoughts about oneself 'as oneself' - first-personal thoughts, which Lewis aptly called de se - call for special treatment: we need to abandon one of two traditional assumptions on the contents needed to provide rationalizing explanations, their shareability or their absoluteness. Their arguments have been very influential; one might take them as establishing a new 'effect' - new philosophical evidence in need of being accounted for. This is questioned by the skeptical arguments in recent work by Cappelen & Dever and Magidor, along lines that a few discrepant voices had already announced earlier. Skeptics content that the evidence does not really call for revising traditional theories of content. I will discuss their challenges - first and foremost, concerning action explanations - aiming to make the case that the 'De Se effect' is no illusion: de se attitudes require us to revise one of the two tenets of traditional views.27 p.application/pdfeng(c) Oslo University Press, 2017SubjectivitatPensamentSubjectivityThinkinginfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6671192017-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
