Sommario/riassunto: | Self and World is an exploration of the nature of self-awareness. Quassim Cassam rejects the widespread view that the self eludes introspection, and argues that consciousness of our thoughts and experiences involves a sense of our thinking, experiencing selves as shaped, solid, and located physical objects in a world of such objects. This clear, original, and challenging treatment of one of the deepest of intellectual problems will demand the attention ofall philosophers and cognitive scientists who are concerned with the self.'Extraordinarily clear, thorough, balanced, accurate, and judicious' Derek Parfit. |
