In this book, Jose Luis Bermudez addesses two fundamental problems in the philosophy and psychology of selfconsciousness: (1) Can we provide a noncircular account of fully fledged selfconscious thought and language in terms of more fundamental capacities? (2) Can we explain how fully fledged selfconscious thought and language can arise in the normal course of human development? Bermudez argues that a paradox (the paradox of selfconsciousness) arises from the apparent strict interdependence between selfconscious thought and linguistic selfreference. The paradox renders circular all theories that define selfconsciousness in terms of linguistic mastery of the firstperson pronoun. It seems to follow from the paradox of selfconsciousness that no such account or explanation can be given.elinguistic and preconceptual. Such primitive forms of selfconsciDrawing on recent work in empirical psychology and philosophy, the author argues that any explanation of fully fledged selfconsciousness that answers these two questions requires attention to primitive forms of selfconsciousness that are prousness are to be found in somatic proprioception, the structure of exteroceptive perception, and prelinguistic forms of social interaction. The author uses these primitive forms of selfconsciousness to dissolve the paradox of selfconsciousness and to show how the two questions can be given an affirmative answer.
