DESCRIPTION:Abstract:   Some philosophers have arg
 ued that using ‘I’ is the source of illusions, for
  instance the illusion that I am the author of my 
 actions and thoughts rather than thoughts and acti
 ons happening to me, or in me. Lichtenberg maintai
 ned that “we should say ‘it thinks’ or ‘there is t
 hinking going on’ rather than ‘I think’.” In the s
 ame vein, Nietzsche urged that “a thought comes wh
 en it wills, not when I will.” And nevertheless, u
 sing ‘I’ seems to be an indispensible tool for eac
 h individual person to refer to herself. What do o
 ur uses of ‘I’ reveal about our relations to ourse
 lves, to others, and to the world?
