Abstract
First-person thoughts, i.e. thoughts one would express using the pronoun " I ", are reflexive : the thought I would express by saying " I'm hungry " is about myself as the thinker of that thought. In this seminar, I defend an introspectionist interpretation of first-person mental reflexivity, according to which " the thinker " is the individual who is capable of introspective knowledge of his thoughts. I show how this interpretation enables us to account for the idea, which goes back to Wittgenstein's seminal remarks in the Blue Notebook, that a certain class of first-person thoughts are such that the thinker cannot be mistaken as to the identity of the subject of thought.
