Concept information
Preferred term
self and essential indexicality
Definition
- What connects the topics of the self and essential indexicality is the first-person term: I, me, mine, my, and their cognates (“I” for short). This is because, as it is now commonly thought, (a) I refers to the self, (b) I is an indexical term, and (c) I is an essential term.
