Subjecthood transparency.

In recent work Philip Goff has defended the thesis of subjecthood transparency : someone possessing the concept 'subjecthood' is thereby in a position to know, a priori, what it is for an entity to be a subject of experiences.

      ab: In recent work Philip Goff has defended the thesis of subjecthood transparency : someone possessing the concept 'subjecthood' is thereby in a position to know, a priori, what it is for an entity to be a subject of experiences. Kevin Morris has criticized a specific argument that Goff provides for subjecthood transparency. I will argue that Morris's criticism of Goff's argument does not succeed. I will then present an alternative criticism of Goff's argument, one that also applies to the thesis of subjecthood transparency itself.
