What makes self-knowledge such an intriguing issue? This collection of specially commissioned essays, by some of the top philosophers in the field, offers lucid and well-argued answers, which enhance our understanding of the nature and the limits of knowledge of our own beliefs and desires. Publisher Description Self-knowledge has always been a central topic of philosophical inquiry. It is hard to think of a major philosopher, from ancient times to the present, who refrained from pronouncing on the nature, the importance, or the limitations of one's knowing of oneself as oneself. What makes self-knowledge such a perplexing phenomenon? The essays featured in this collection seek to deepen our understanding of self-knowledge, to solve some of the genuine (and toresolve some of the spurious) problems that hold back philosophical progress on that front, and to assess the value of some classic moves in the debate over the epistemic status of self-ascriptions. Someof the chapters discuss features of self-knowledge that appear to account for its unique -- and, in that sense, peculiar -- status; some advance straight for solving crucial problems; and others take a step back to consider the terms in which we set the questions to which a philosophical theory of self-knowledge is to provide the answer. Through their rigorous argumentation regarding the issues of reflection, introspection, deliberation, rationality, belief-formation, and epistemicwarrant, the contributors illustrate how the specific problems that surround the topic of self-knowledge, instead of being approached as peripheral cases to which ready-made epistemological theories canbe applied, may themselves illuminate some fundamental issues in the theory of knowledge.
