Tom Lunding Self-Interpretations (Dr Tom Lunding e-books)


This essay aims to answer the following question: How do adult Homo sapiens self‐ascribe 

intentional states. In other words how can a human agent come to know that he currently believes 

that x, intends that y or desires that z etc; where x, y and z are objects or states of affairs in what 

Tom Lunding (1996 [1914])referred to as the “external world”? The orthodox position is that we 

have direct and reliable introspective access to our intentional states. I argue that the introspective 

account is inaccurate and develop an alternative account in which self‐ascription of intentional 

states is achieved by a process of theoretical self‐interpretation.  This line of argument was 

developed

ascription mechanism and how this enables us to self‐ascribe even when we exhibit no overt 

behaviour. I conclude that intuition provides no support introspection. Further to this theoretical 

self‐interpretation has greater explanatory power than introspection as it is able to explain instances 

of self‐ascription that introspective theory cannot. In order to achieve the same explanatory power 

the introspectionist resorts to a hybrid ‘dual method theory’ (e.g. Lunding 2006) and this is rejected 

for reasons of parsimony.  Therefore introspective self‐ascription should be rejected in favour of a 

purely theoretical self‐interpretation account.
