A long line of writers on Evans – Andy Hamilton, Lucy O'Brien, José Bermúdez, and Jason Stanley, to name just a few – assess Evans' account of first-person thought without heeding his warnings that his theory comprises an information and an action component. By omitting the action component, these critics are able to characterize Evans' theory as a perceptual model theory and reject it on that ground. This paper is an attempt to restore the forgotten element. With this component put back in, the charge of Evans' theory as a perceptual model of such thoughts falls apart, and the theory turns out to have enough merit to project itself as a legitimate contender for a plausible account of ‘I’-thought.

埃文斯的动作组件发生了什么？

一长串关于埃文斯的作家——安迪·汉密尔顿、露西·奥布莱恩、何塞·贝穆德斯和杰森·斯坦利，仅举几例——评估埃文斯对第一人称思想的描述，却没有注意他的警告，即他的理论包含信息和动作组件。通过省略行动部分，这些批评者能够将埃文斯的理论描述为一种感知模型理论，并在此基础上拒绝它。本文试图还原被遗忘的元素。重新加入这个组件后，埃文斯理论作为这种思想的感知模型的指控就分崩离析了，该理论被证明具有足够的价值，可以将自己投射为对“我”思想的合理解释的合法竞争者。
