Znaczenie pojęć dla samowiedzy według Christophera Peacocke'a (THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CONCEPTS FOR SELF-KNOWLEDGE IN CHRISTOPHER PEACOCKE'S THEORY)

Abstract

Christopher Peacocke is supporter of the standpoint, which claims, that the connection between the content of mental states and concepts, which are constituents of the content, has implications for self-knowledge. Without an answer to the question, 'What is it for a subject to posses a concept?' we cannot answer the question, 'How does a subject acquire self-knowledge?'. The connection between a concept, its possession conditions, and semantic value Peacocke explains in Fregean way. This connection leads also to the specific model of self-knowledge constructed by Peacocke
