The authors incorporate cutting-edge research while defending their own alternatives to existing approaches to so-called ‘first-person privilege’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBar-On defends her neo-expressivist account, addressing the objection that neo-expressivism fails to provide an adequate epistemology of ordinary self-knowledge, and addresses new objections levelled by Wright. Wright then presents an alternative \u003ci\u003epluralist\u003c\/i\u003e approach, and Bar-On argues in response that pluralism faces difficulties neo-expressivism avoids.
