Chr. Peacocke on Demonstratives - Dictionary of Arguments
I 126 Place/location/Self/Peacocke: the demonstrative [this T place] does not reflect the sense of "here" in English. >Sense, >Index Words, >Indexicality, >Here, >Now. E.g. you can ask "What’s going on here" without perceiving something in a certain place. >Spatial localization, >Reference, >Thinking, >Object of thought, >Belief content. That is not analog with [self]: - E.g. it may well make sense to say: "[this T place] is not here". - E.g. Dennett is in Oklahoma, while his brain is in Houston. >Self, >Self identification, >He/he himself._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
