Self-Reference 7. First-Person Authority Conclusion: The Expressive Self References About the AuthorReviews""The Expressive Self offers an ingenious defense of the view that what makes the first-person perspective important is not an epistemic but a practical capacity, the capacity to express how things are with oneself. Utilizing an insightful distinction between descriptive and expressive claims about oneself, García Rodríguez is able to provide ground-breaking solutions to Moore's paradox, McKinsey's paradox, and the puzzle of self-deception. Comprehensive and coherent, this marvelous book--rich with insight--will be immensely valuable to researchers on self-consciousness, and will surely be regarded as a must-read contribution to the philosophy of mind in years to come."" --Jordi Fernández, University of Adelaide ""In this exciting new book, Ángel García Rodríguez argues that there is something irreducibly first-personal about what it is to be oneself, something which no third-person account can provide. Rodríguez demonstrates with impressive prowess that the key to this uniqueness of the first-person perspective resides in the notion of expression. Offering novel approaches to both Moore's paradox and McKinsey's paradox along the way, The Expressive Self work is essential reading for anybody interested in the nature of the self."" --Constantine Sandis, Director of Lex Academic and Visiting Professor of Philosophy, University of Hertfordshire """The Expressive Self offers an ingenious defense of the view that what makes the first-person perspective important is not an epistemic but a practical capacity, the capacity to express how things are with oneself.
