We say “α = α'”, “β = β'”, and ~~“<u>γ~~ = ~~γ</u>”~~. The first two equalities are of an entirely {{BBB TS reference|Ts-309,115}} different kind from the third.) In “I have pain”, “I” is not a demonstrative pronoun.

We say “α = α'”, “β = β'”, and “γ = γ”. The first two equalities are of an entirely {{BBB TS reference|Ts-309,115}} different kind from the third.) In “I have pain”, “I” is not a demonstrative pronoun.

Compare the two cases: 1. “How do you know that ''he'' has pains?” – “Because I hear him moan”. 2. “How do you know that you have pains?” – “Because I ''feel'' them”. But “I feel them” means the same as “I have them”. Therefore this was no explanation at all. That, however, in my answer I am inclined to stress the word “feel” and not the word “I” indicates that I don't wish to pick out one person (from amongst different persons).
