 Śrīharṣa imagines the defender of this proposal to be someone who thinks that our ordinary self-ascriptions of knowledge reliably track the presence of knowledgehood in various awareness-episodes. But this can only be the case if there is some kind of causal connection between knowledgehood and our self-ascriptions of knowledge, i.e., if knowledgehood causally regulates our self-ascriptions of knowledge. But surely, Śrīharṣa argues, knowledgehood can only give rise to self-ascriptions of knowledge insofar as we are aware that knowledgehood is instantiated in various awareness-episodes. When we sincerely say that some awareness-episode constitutes knowledge, we have to be antecedently aware of knowledgehood as instantiated in that awareness-episode.
