Infos

A collection of twelve essays by John Perry and two essays he co-authored, this book deals with various problems related to "e;self-locating beliefs"e;: the sorts of beliefs one expresses with indexicals and demonstratives, like "e;I"e; and "e;this."e; Postscripts have been added to a number of the essays discussing criticisms by authors such as Gareth Evans and Robert Stalnaker. Included with such well-known essays as "e;Frege on Demonstratives,"e; "e;The Problem of the Essential Indexical,"e; "e;From Worlds to Situations,"e; and "e;The Prince and the Phone Booth"e; are a number of important essays that have been less accessible and that discuss important aspects of Perry's views, referred to as "e;Critical Referentialism,"e; on the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind.
