Gallie and Grice on personal identity

Speranza

"[It]t might be held [...] that the sentence --"

"I am hearing a noise"

"is misleading in respect both 

of its subject and predicate, since 

the word "I" conceals a description of 

such a type that, when it is explicitly 

stated in words, the original predicate 

of the sentence must be altered 

if the result is to be a significant 

assertion. ... We might [refer to this as

the theory] ... that the Self ... is 

a Logical Construction." (_Mind_, 1936 p. 37). 

-- And Grice agrees!
