The Self in Question (eBook, PDF)

Memory, The Body and Self-Consciousness

Beschreibung

A humanistic account of self-consciousness and personal identity, and offering a structural parallel between the epistemology of memory and bodily awareness. It provides a much-needed rapprochement between Analytic and Phenomenological approaches, developing Wittgenstein's insights into "I"-as-subject and self-identification.

Rezensionen

"The book examines the relation between self-consciousness and: memory, personal identity, proprioception, the body and linguistic mastery of the first-person. ... The book has a usefully detailed table of contents and clear introductory chapter. The different parts of the book seem relatively independent ... . Students of self-consciousness and related topics will find it a stimulating read overall as well a useful resource to consult at the more local level." (Daniel Morgan, Analysis, Vol. 76 (3), July, 2016)
