Explaining “I” as the result of introspection of “self” seems reasonable. But I think that is a circular definition. Yes, the access of “this” defines “I”. But why I have immediate access to “this” instead of other things? That is the part that can only be taken as given. Not further reduced by logic.
For example, I would try to maximize the interest of dadadarren, and you would shminux. Obviously both are rational. The difference can only be explained by our different reasoning starting point: Because for me, I am dadadarren, for you shminux. There is no point further analyzing our difference to determine which is correct in terms of logic.
