1994 Introduction to 'Self-Knowledge'
§I p.1 Knowledge of thoughts covers both their existence and their contents
§I p.4 Outer senses are as important as introspection in the acquisition of self-knowledge
§I p.7 Is there a mode of self-awareness that isn't perception, and could it give self-knowledge?
§I p.8 If we have a pain, we are strongly aware of the bodily self
§I p.10 We can't introspect ourselves as objects, because that would involve possible error
§II p.15 Neither self-consciousness nor self-reference require self-knowledge
