I don’t think this is even a good example. “Self” is usually treated as a reflexive pronoun, although I’m not sure if it still counts as one if you say “the self.” And “this” is a demonstrative pronoun. And “one,” as it used in this sentence is an indefinite pronoun.
Those could be used as pronouns indeed, but “self” here is a noun, even if reflexive. Could have used “this writer” instead of “one,” but wanting easier for reading diction (✕⍯) choose. “This” is a demonstrative determiner/adjectives, pointing to the nouns perspectives.
What if stoodarion becameth apothipronominal as this writer has?🤔
