Abstrakt:

When we tell each other what we want, believe, or intend, we speak with a special kind of authority, called first-person authority. In this talk I will offer a specification of the phenomenon and explain it. The view defended holds that

we presume that another speaks truly when she speaks her mind because we presume that she is rational. Like others, I think that Moore’s Paradox provides a clue here, so I will spend a bit of time on that.
