Resumo

Self-knowledge as a sort ofknowledge can be justified through two kinds of paradigm: obser\vational and inferential. This paper criticizes both epistemic lines and suggests instead that first-person statements exhibit the samc logical structure as statements about secondary qualities, as proposed by Crispin Wright. The paper introduces a variant to this propasa!: self-deception should not be seen as threatening tht: biconditional that expresses that self-knowledge is constitutive of intentionality. This is the constitutive thesis.
