{"product_id":"i-the-meaning-of-the-first-person-term","title":"I: The Meaning of the First Person Term","description":"I is perhaps the most important and the least understood of our everyday expressions. This is a constant source of philosophical confusion. Max de Gaynesford offers a remedy: he explains what this expression means, its logical form and its inferential role. He thereby shows the way to an understanding of how we express first-personal thinking. He dissolves various myths about how I refers, to the effect that it is a pure indexical. His central claim is that the key to understanding I is that it is the same kind of expression as the other singular personal pronouns, you and he\/she: a deictic term, whose reference depends on making an individual salient. He addresses epistemological questions as well as semantic questions, and shows how they interrelate.\n The book thus not only resolves a key issue in philosophy of language, but promises to be of great use to people working on problems in other areas of philosophy.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54253042663768,"sku":"9780199287826","price":102.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780199287826__67acb52db2ce3.jpg?v=1741134966","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/i-the-meaning-of-the-first-person-term","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
