Abstract
Reflecting upon processes of recognition and identification in mind, J. Perry came to the conclusion that everything we know or believe refers to a certain subjective perspective from which this knowledge or belief may be applied in practice. If we impute content to propositional attitudes sentences taking into account this perspective, we can easily solve such old philosophical problems as the problem of violation of the substitutability principle and that of informative identities. Perry offers his own concept of content which is enough flexible to cope with the task.
