ABSTRACT
The manner in which we spoke above may have given rise to a misunderstanding. We may have been heard saying that, while monadic self-predication constitutes the manner of thinking of a subject expressed by the first-person pronoun, dyadic self-predication constitutes a further of manner of thinking of a subject, the one expressed by the second-person pronoun. However, dyadic self-predication does not add to the “I” the “you”. If it adds anything, then it adds, not the “you”, for there is no such thing, but the “I-you”. And as we shall see now, even this is not right. It is impossible to add to an I an I-you. The I to which we try to think the I-you is added is always already I-you.6
