A fortiori, the single common subject of a global representation 13. Even some representations that might be somebody else’s by some other criterion seem to provide that possibility. This will complicate the business of immunity to error through misidentification when we get to it. Kant, self-awareness and self-reference is presented to itself as the same subject throughout this global representation. , [statements expressing it have] no direct implications of the form ‘I shall experience C rather than D’” (Bennett, 1974: 80).

The sentence ‘2 is a prime number’ is the complete expression of a thought. 4 On the Fregean analysis, the clause ‘Russia and Canada quarrelled’, which is arrived at by removing the time specification from (1) or (2), is to be viewed as a concept expression. The clause stands in need of an object name (for a definite time) in order to become the expression of a thought. Similarly, the sense it expresses stands in need of the sense of an object name in order to become a complete thought. By specifying a time, the expression ‘when Nemtsanov defected’ completes the sense of sentence (1).

A representation is individuated, differentiated from other representations, by its object. But no representation of mine is made different from any other representation of mine by the fact that it makes me aware of myself as its subject. To represent something as an object is to place it vis-à-vis other objects, and usually to ascribe properties to it. If so, to appear in a representation as subject is not to appear as an object of any kind, just as Kant said (A342=B400). (Interesting enough, Shoemaker says something similar [1968: 564; this volume, 90]).
