The paper addresses the issue of first-person knowledge ascriptions and their relevance to epistemic scepticism. It is argued that first-person epistemic ascriptions, in particular assertions of the form “I know that…”, easily lead us to mistake the assertion conditions of epistemic ascriptions for part of the truth conditions. It is shown that the sceptical argument from ignorance receives its apparent plausibility mainly from this confusion and, therefore, from the widespread first-person approach to epistemological questions.
