Title: Robert Dunn
Self-Knowledge in Action and Self-Commitment

In this paper, I argue that self-knowledge in action is a distinctively  
practical mode of self-consciousness. It is knowledge that an acting  
subject has from within their commitment to be acting in a certain way. I  
develop this thesis in the spirit of a reading of Elizabeth Anscombe’s  
view, as articulated in her book Intention, that practical knowledge is  
(non-receptive) knowledge in intention.

On the way, I discuss issues arising from the contributions of John  
McDowell, Wilfred Sellars, Robert Brandom, Donald Davidson, Sebastian Rodl,  
and Richard Moran. This mix of authors reflects the influence that Anscombe  
has had in the philosophy of action, in both the analytical and idealist  
traditions.
