Abstract:
Many people argue that privileged selfknowledge is incompatible with semantic externalism. I develop a contextualist approach to selfknowledge, and examine what this approach should lead us to say about the apparent incompatibility. Though such contextualism compels us to rethink the notion of privilege associated with selfknowledge, it can contain the damage wreaked by the externalist doctrine.
