... to be knowledge about oneself or indexical knowledge. So in order to envisage the gods' epistemic situation coherently, we need to assume that they lack those introspective abilities. But once we recognize that, it turns out that positing a special kind of information is a gratuitous addition. The two gods...

... knowledge is knowledge of the latter kind. Se- mantics is a disputed terrain. But Kaplan’s picture lends support to one claim: knowledge of the context of speech does mix with linguistic com- petence to generate meanings for sentences. This is just because of index- icals. On the orthodox picture...

... about oneself” (18). 35. Bertrand Russell, in Human Knowledge: Its Scope and Limits (London: George Allen and Unwin, 1948), groups indexicals and demonstratives under the moniker “egocentric” terms. About such terms, Russell observes that they denote “a different object on each occasion...

... that of “core indexicals” such as ‘I’ and ‘here’ (103–10). However, ‘know’ is not linked to a scale of epistemic strength and so is not, like ‘flat’, gradable (118–24). Further, Blome-Tillmann argues, challenges to ‘knowledge’ ascriptions “are never merely challenges of the truth of one's ‘knowledge’-ascription...
