Cora Diamond--Philosophy and the Mind-1

Notes: (p.3)

1. ...Because logic 'fills' the world and because the possibilities of the world are the possibilities for thought, for the self considered non-psychologically, philosophical talk will be 'about the self' in its analysis of ordinary proposition about any and every ordinary subject matter.

2....remark about philosophy's being able to talk about the self in a non-psychological way is one of the remarks that has to be überwindet: we must win over it, throw away the ladder of which it is a rung.

3... The final step is the philosophical journey that takes us to the seeing of philosophical analysis as philosophy's non-philosophical presentation of the self leaves us without that description or any supposedly unspeakable understanding corresponding to it.
