Slow Switching and Authority of Self-Knowledge

Based on content externalism, the question of whether self-knowledge is authoritative or not has launched a real controversy in the philosophy of mind.

He claimed that Boghossian's argument appeals to some controversial assumptions without which it cannot achieve its conclusion.
