 The general decentering strategy is to take self-locating attitudes out of the story about communication, and put them in the story about relations between what’s communicated and the interlocutors’ private belief-states. Everybody allows, and needs to allow, that speakers and hearers have their own proprietary doxastic states. And everybody allows, and needs to allow, that which doxastic commitments a speaker displays in asserting what they believe, and which other doxastic commitments a hearer incurs by accepting what’s asserted, are going to be highly interpersonally variable. (If you and I are acquainted with different members of this term’s introduction to philosophy class, which de re beliefs we’re committed to when we both accept that every member of the class passed the exam is going to be different.) The decenterer solves the problem of self-locating beliefs’ making trouble for the package-delivery model by making self-locating beliefs ineligible for (direct) communication, then explaining self-locating communicative effects via uncentered communication’s knock-on effects for interlocutors’ private self-locating beliefs.
