In \u003ci\u003eExpression and Self-Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e, Dorit Bar-On and Crispin Wright engage in a sustained critical debate concerning the best approach for achieving a philosophical understanding of this type of knowledge. Their debate focuses pre-eminently on the expressivist idea that a satisfactory explanation will need to assign a leading role to our capacity to manifest our mental states in expressive behaviour and speech.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the first part of the book, the authors join to provide a penetrating critical overview of other existing approaches to privileged self-knowledge, before going on to present and debate their own contrasting views of its provenance. The discussion develops and addresses new criticisms of the expressivist approach, engaging broad issues in epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind, and offering divergent perspectives on the remarks on the issues in Wittgenstein's \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Investigations\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExpression and Self-Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates cutting-edge research and offers invaluable insights on a hotly debated topic in contemporary philosophy.
