Abstract

Abstract Characterizing the first- and third-person perspectives is essential to the study of consciousness, yet we lack a rigorous definition of or criteria for these two perspectives. Our intuitive understanding of how personal pronouns help to specify the perspectives gives rise to mutually exclusive notions of the first-person perspective. This contradiction thwarts our progress in studying consciousness. We can resolve the current ambiguity of the first-person perspective by introducing a new distinction between the first-person and third-person perspectives, based on two modes of consciousness: reflective and non-reflective. The purpose of this paper is to explain this new proposal, to elucidate the grounds for it, and to briefly suggest benefits from its use.

对第一人称和第三人称视角的新理解

摘要表征第一人称视角和第三人称视角对意识研究至关重要，但我们对这两种视角缺乏严格的定义或标准。我们对人称代词如何帮助指定视角的直观理解产生了第一人称视角的互斥概念。这种矛盾阻碍了我们研究意识的进步。我们可以通过在第一人称视角和第三人称视角之间引入一种新的区分来解决当前第一人称视角的模糊性，这种区分基于两种意识模式：反思和非反思。本文的目的是解释这一新提议，阐明其理由，并简要说明其使用的好处。
