If I say
“
I see this→” I am liable to
tap my chest to show which person I am. Now suppose I had
no head & pointing to my geometrical eye I would point to
a place || an
empty place above my neck, wouldn't I still
5
feel that I pointed to the
person who sees tapping my chest? Now I might ask
“how do I know in this case who sees
this?” But what is
this. It's no use just pointing
ahead of me, & if, instead, I point to a description &
tap both my chest & the description & say
‘
I see
this’ – it
makes || has no sense to ask “how do you know
that it's
you who sees it” for I
don't
know that it's this person
& not another one which sees before I point;
but one could in certain cases say I know
because I
point. – This is what I meant by saying that I
don
't cho
ose the mouth which says
“I have toothache”.
