Description: Provides a new interpretation of Berkeley's conception of 'spirit' and its link with self-consciousness, as a way into his immaterialist metaphysics. Along the way, it sheds new light on Descartes's cogito and Hume's 'bundle' theory of the self.
Review Quotes: "Bettcher's is a well-documented and rigorous analysis of Berkeley's views on self and self-consciousness. Her analytical efforts are certainly to be commended." -Costica Bradatan, Philosophy in Review, 2007
