DESCRIPTION:<p><a name="_Hlk510086683"></a><a name="_Hlk510086683"></a>According to a certain &ldquo\;Straight Reading&rdquo\; of Elizabeth Anscombe&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;The First Person&rdquo\;\, she holds a Radically Non-Referring view of &lsquo\;I&rsquo\;. Specifically\, &lsquo\;I&rsquo\; is analogized to the expletive &lsquo\;it&rsquo\; in &lsquo\;It&rsquo\;s raining&rsquo\;. I argue that this is not her position. Her substantive view on &lsquo\;I&rsquo\;\, rather\, is that <em>if </em>what you mean by &lsquo\;referring term&rsquo\; is a certain rich and recherch&eacute\; Frege-inspired notion\, <em>then</em> &lsquo\;I&rsquo\; is not one. Her methodological point is that one shouldn&rsquo\;t be bewitched by language into thinking that &lsquo\;I&rsquo\;\, because of its syntax and logical role\, must exhibit &ldquo\;reference&rdquo\; in this sense. Anscombe uses this insight to defang a neo-Cartesian semantic argument for dualism\, itself based on an alleged Frege-style sense for &lsquo\;I&rsquo\;.</p>
