Description: 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.
Review Quotes:
"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."
