    • “Cogito, ergo sum” would be regarded by most people as having a true premiss. This, however, the behaviourist denies. He maintains that our knowledge of ourselves is no different in kind from our knowledge of other people.1922, Bertrand Russell, The Analysis of Mind, London; New York: George Allen & Unwin Ltd.; The Macmillan Company, page 29

[…] But not even a behaviourist would say that whenever we recognize a road or building, or identify our own hat in a collection, the process consists of sotto voce speech.1971, Julis R. Weinberg, Keith E. Yandell, Metaphysics (Problems in Philosophical Inquiry; 2), →LCCN, 03085668X, page 130
