ABSTRACT

In chapter 7, we developed the hypothesis of semi-Lagadonian judgment as a type of infallible self-attribution. But does such infallibility suffice for knowing what one judges? That question remains, even if one knows what one thinks. For knowledge of judgment requires also knowing that one has the judging-attitude toward what one thinks. Now a semiLagadonian self-attribution, as we have defined it, de facto represents the subject’s lower-attitude as that of judging. But even so, we observed at the end of chapter 8 that a subject plausibly should be able to discriminate lower-order judging from other attitudes, before she could count as knowing of her judging. And it is not yet clear what would enable her to discriminate between judging that p, versus hoping, doubting, or even denying that p.
