Self, philosophy: the concept of the self cannot be exactly separated from the concept of the I. Over the past few years, more and more traditional terms of both concepts have been relativized. In particular, a constant nature of the self or the I is no longer assumed today. See also brain/brain state, mind, state of mind, I, subjects, perception, person.

G. E. M. Anscombe on Self - Dictionary of Arguments

Frank I 91
Self/Anscombe: the self is no Cartesian idea, but it can be combined with a Cartesian ego theory.
>cogito
.
But this is again derived from a missed reflexive pronoun.
>Pronouns/Anscombe.
If someone said that the self is connected to a person, then that would be contingent, a happy coincidence!
>Contingency.
Another fortunate coincidence would be necessary so that it has something to do with it!
I 96
Self/Anscombe: it may be very nice to describe what selves are. But if I do not know that I am a self, I cannot mean a self with "I".
>Meaning/intending, >Intention, >Intentionality, >Self-consciousness.
