Self-Awareness and the Elusive Subject

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Self-Awareness and The Elusive Subject explores the fact that we are certain of the existence of a subject of experience despite its being objectively and subjectively elusive. Howell provides an account of basic self-awareness according to which we are most fundamentally aware of ourselves indirectly as the subject of our conscious states.
