Description

We are familiar with cases in which some ideas seem to be our own and other ideas seem to belong to someone else. For example, one attributes a particular literary idea to its author, but claims ownership of one's personal reflections about that idea; one allows Descartes his conception of God, but claims a particular interpretation for oneself. In these typical cases, both the ideas of others and one's own ideas must occupy a place in a single mental life, or else one would be unaware of their distinct senses. Let us assume that one's (genuinely) own ideas provide an important indication of one's individuality. Given the different senses of ownership that attach to aspects of mental life, how can we generate a viable concept of the individual self--self that has its own feelings, ideas, values, and mental life generally? Some accounts of the individual self will not adequately accommodate the distinctive experience of ownership, because their conditions for being a self are too inclusive. For example, the Cartesian cogito, simple subjective experience, or physical bodies do not have the resources to distinguish individuals from others at this level of examination, because both one's own ideas and the ideas of others relate to them on equal footing.
