- Olivi and attributivism
- olivian "foundations" of "subjective certainty"
- 1) I have an intuition of myself as substance, i.e. as subject and as principle, through an "experiential and quasi-tactile" feeling of myself as a permanent subject
- 2) this intuition is completed by a second intuition, carried out in and by the same "internal sense", that of my acts as so many "attributes" of the subject I am
- Intuitive knowledge of oneself as a subject: text analysis ;
- The unity of the subject: against the duplication of the subject into sensible subject and thinking subject, and its indefinite multiplication: sensible subject, thinking subject, willing subject, desiring subject, suffering subject, Olivi maintains the identity of the operative power and of the supplicant who (calls himself) "I"
- This identity is the expression of the absolute simplicity of the soul
- Olivi and Jaakko Hintikka's KK-thesis: Kap ⊃ KaKap (if a knows that p, it follows that a knows that a knows that p)
- Olivi and the general principle of attributivism*: PGA*: the soul feels and thereby knows that it is the principle and subject of its acts
