55Finite subjects in the ethics: Spinoza on indexical knowledge, the first person and the individuality of human mindsRenz, Ursula . Finite Subjects in the Ethics: Spinoza on Indexical Knowledge, the First Person and the Individuality of Human Minds. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 2013.This chapter suggests a new interpretation of Spinoza’s concept of mind claiming that the goal of the equation of the human mind with the idea of the body is not to solve the mind-body problem, but rather to show how we can, within the framework of Spinoza’s rationalism, conceive of finite minds as irreducibly distinguishable individuals. To support this view, the chapter discusses the passage from E2p11 to E2p13 against the background of three preliminaries, i.e. the notion of a union between m…Read more

115Warum selber denken? Zum Problem und Begriff des epistemischen IndividualismusAnalyse & Kritik 31 (2): 243-259. 2009.Since the last two decades of the 20th century it has been widely accepted that testimony has to be acknowledged as a source of knowledge.

I distinguish between three forms of epistemic individualism, and I argue that only the most extreme form can be flatly rejected while there are good reasons for maintaining the other …Read more

First, one has to defend a realist account of self-knowledge. Second, one must allow for some kind of constructivism in regard to the description of one′s own experience. Finally, one has to maintain a strictly cognitivist conception of emot…Read more
