You're right of course, I should have used a different adjective, especially since the point was to look at questions differently, not to definitively answer them. I think the essay shows the "problem word" in the question "Where am I?" is not "Where" but "I". It's easy to refer to a location, to answer the question "Where", but much harder to refer to the "I" that is supposed to be there. > Then I am not sure if this is really related with Quentin Anciaux's > idea that he feels located in his head. > The idea that we are in our head ... is in our head! > Another way of saying that, is that we have the urge to utter and endorse sentences like "I feel located in my head" - but the explanation of this urge is not necessarily "I am located in my head, and I want to give an honest report of that". I'm not convinced that there is a "1st person" fact of the matter whether "I" am in W or M. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
