The idea of a quasi-second-order thinking: An objective to the reflective theory of conscious thinking

Abstract

The argument put forward in this article is that the reflective theory of conscious thought is truly inconsistent. According to theory, it would be possible to introduce the notion of second-order quasi-thinking from the notion of S. Shoemaker of a quasi-souvenir. On the one hand, a quasi-thinking of second order, but not necessarily a quasi-souvenir, involves the use of ‘me’ as a subject. On the other hand, Shoemaker conceives the use of ‘me’ as a subject in terms of the notion of immunity to error due to a failure to identify. However, both the concept of a quasi-memorial and the concept of quasi-thought of second order are subject to the introduction of cases of personal and psychological fission where the causal series between events belonging to one and the same subject is broken and there is thus no immunity from error due to a failure to identify. Then, the notion of a second-order quasi-thought would give rise to cases where the use of ‘me’ as a subject is not immune to error due to a failure to identify!
