'I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe any thing but the perception.' These famous words of David Hume, on his inability to perceive the self, set the stage for JeeLoo Liu and John Perry's collection of essays on self-awareness and self-knowledge. This volume connects recent scientific studies on consciousness with the traditional issues about the self explored by Descartes, Locke and Hume. Experts in the field offer contrasting perspectives on matters such as the relation between consciousness and self-awareness, the notion of personhood and the epistemic access to one's own thoughts, desires or attitudes. The volume will be of interest to philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists and others working on the central topics of consciousness and the self.

Product description

Review

"...I'll lay my cards on the table right away and say that this is a good book. It's not too often that I read a collection such as this cover to cover, and I found doing so with this volume very rewarding. The book contains plenty of chewy philosophical argumentation and the, admittedly only occasional, references between papers were illuminating. There's a lot to learn, and to engage with, here.... It's a good book, with lots of careful papers and serious arguments. Anybody with even a passing interest in self-consciousness, consciousness or the self, cannot fail to learn something from its pages."
--Joel Smith, University of Manchester, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews


"...The main important point of this book is the capacity of the editors to put together different accounts about self-awareness that perfectly mix traditional and contemporary points of view about conscious states and the self. The diversity of thesis and conclusions included between the different chapters permits to take a panoramic look to the actual debate in philosophy of consciousness and self-awareness."
--Juan J. Colomina, PhD, The University of Texas at Austin and LEMA Research Group (University of La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain), Metapsychology Online Reviews

    4.0 out of 5 stars This is a great collection for those working on personal identity and self-consciousness
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2014

    This is a great collection for those working on personal identity and self-consciousness. Perry's "Thinking about the self," provides a much needed alternative to the overly strict metaphysics of many of the psychological and physical theorists who look (in vain) for necessary and sufficient conditions of sameness. Prinz's "waiting for the self" is a great overview of neuroscientific research on the neural status of the self (Prinz disagrees with this work, but the value of the essay isn't in his argument, but his very fair and strong presentation of the sources he disputes...he actually convinced me of the opposite of his opinion, though I came in agreeing with him!) and Schwitzgebel's "Self-ignorance," which is approaching classic status. Unfortunately, the ebook failed to deal with paragraph formatting, so new paragraphs are not indented or separated. I don't want to lower the rating for that reason, but you're better off in this case getting the paper version. I generally prefer ebooks for their searchability, but I'm mildly regretting my format choice in this case.
