This essay explores Rasvihary Das 's idea of self-knowledge and tries to situate his thoughts in contemporary perspective. This essay begins with a description of the source and nature of the philosophical problem that one confronts when one talks about self-knowledge . Contrary to Rasvihary, a non-objectual view of self-knowledge has been shown to be worth considering. In the latter half of the essay, an account of different kinds of avowals has been taken up for scrutiny against the background of Rasvihary's ascription of immediacy to self-knowledge.
