Kant and Strawson on the First Person
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Peter Strawson thinks it the ‘veriest truism ‘ and an answer to a question that no one with ‘ordinary linguistic competence ‘ and ordinary philosophical innocence would even think of asking, that the very understanding of I requires the understanding of it as referring to a subject which is also a corporeal being among others in an objective world, namely, a human being.
