He ranges from ancient to contemporary thought, Western and Eastern, to reveal and assess the insights of a remarkable variety of thinkers. He discusses a set of topics which are at the heart of our understanding of ourselves: personal identity; memory; the. importance of seeing one's life as a whole; the relation between self, intellect, will, and agency; self-awareness; the stream of consciousness; embodiment; death and survival. He rejects the view, found in various philosophical and religious writings, that the self is an illusion, and develops his own. original conception of the self as essential to our ownership of our experience and our apprehension of the world. - ;So rich and complex a work as this can hardly be expected to elicit the complete agreement of any reader, but I am persuaded that it will prove intellectually fecund for all. - P--eacute--;ter Lautner RHIZAI. 606 $aPhilosophical anthropology 615 0$aPhilosophical anthropology. 676 $a128 700 $aSorabji$b Richard$0187480 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794868703321 996 $aSelf$91118421 997 $aUNINA
