Evans(McDowell is responding to Evans's earlier arguments): Gareth Evans was a 20th-century philosopher who developed influential theories about how our thoughts and perceptions represent the world.
Information-link(What Evans says is required for genuine de re thought): A connection between your mind and an object that comes from having real information or experience with that object.
Necessarily self-referential(as the condition Evans says must hold for immunity to apply): Something that unavoidably and by its very nature refers back to or points to yourself, not anything else.
Proprioceptive(describes the type of bodily awareness being discussed): Related to your body's ability to sense where it is and what it's doing without looking—like knowing your arm is raised even with your eyes closed.
