A collection of twelve essays by John Perry and two essays he co-authored, this book deals with various problems related to "self-locating beliefs": the sorts of beliefs one expresses with indexicals and demonstratives, like "I" and "this." Postscripts have been added to a number of the essays discussing criticisms by authors such as Gareth Evans and Robert Stalnaker. Included with such well-known essays as "Frege on Demonstratives, " "The Problem of the Essential Indexical, " "From Worlds to Situations, " and "The Prince and the Phone Booth" are a number of important essays that have been less accessible and that discuss important aspects of Perry’s views, referred to as "Critical Referentialism, " on the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind.
