Throughout the history of philosophy, the idea of a self as an irreducible part of a human being was often debated and contested. In this volume in the Oxford Philosophical Concepts series, the contributors trace the history of how philosophers have addressed these self-related questions. Philosophers discussed include Plotinus and Augustine, Ibn Sina, Thomas Aquinas, Rene Descartes, John Locke, Leibniz, David Hume, Denis Diderot, Immanuel Kant, and others up through the 20th century.
