("Knowing one's own thoughts"). Solution/Burge: To have a thought of the world, we do not need to know its individuation conditions. >Individuation, >Self-knowledge. For example, to believe in the twin earth that aluminum is a metal, we don't need to know the microstructure and we don't need to be able to distinguish aluminum from any other metal. The reflective thought of Herrmann: "I think that aluminum is a metal" has partly the same conditions of individuation as the thought that aluminum is a metal. Evans: similar: in self-attribution, the eyes are on the world, not inwardly on the internal conditions. >Self-ascription. Example "Do you think there will be a third world war? The same external circumstances are relevant for this as for the question Frank I 689 "Will there be a third world war?" ((s)Vs: for belief, however, conditions must be added! War can be on the doorstep without people realizing it. Someone might be more gullible than someone else.) 1.
