 Is our access to introspective evidence also inferential, in a way that threatens a regress? Self-interpretation theorists maintain that even understanding what you’re currently feeling will require self-interpretation. Cassam explains this using Lawlor’s example: “When you identify your feeling as the yearning for another child what you are doing is interpreting it” (Cassam 2015: 163). Cassam argues that this process is holistic, as you rely on knowledge of your recent mental life (e.g., recently feeling envy about others’ pregnancies) and perhaps your recent behavior (going out of your way to visit a friend with a newborn) to interpret your current feelings.
