Abstract: If one examines the sky at sunset on a clear night, one seems to see a continuum of colors from reds, oranges and yellows to a deep blue-black. Between any two colored points in the sky there seem to be other colored points. Furthermore, the changes in color across the sky appear to be continuous. Although the colors at the zenith and the horizon are obviously distinct, nowhere in the sky can one see any color borders, and every sufficiently small region of the sky is made up of regions that all seem to be of the same color

Abstract: The idea that we have special access to our own mental states has a distinguished philosophical history. Philosophers as different as Descartes and Locke agreed that we know our own minds in a way that is quite different from the way in which we know other minds. In the latter half of the 20^th century, however, this idea came under serious attack, first from philosophy (Sellars 1956) and more recently from developmental psychology.¹ The attack from developmental psychology arises from the growing body of work on “mindreading”, the process of attributing mental states to people (and other organisms). During the last 15 years, the processes underlying mindreading have been a major focus of attention in cognitive and developmental psychology. Most of this work has been concerned with the processes underlying the attribution of mental states to _other_ people. However, a number of psychologists and philosophers have also proposed accounts of the mechanisms underlying the attribution of mental states to _oneself_. This process of _reading one’s own mind_ or _becoming self-aware_ will be our primary concern in this paper
