| - 'A short summary cannot do justice to the richness and subtlety of Cassam's discussion, or to the clarity, carefulness and fair-mindedness with which he argues his case.' - Times Literary Supplement
|
| Description | | This volume brings together some of the most important and influential recent writings on knowledge of oneself and of one's own thoughts, sensations, and experiences. The essays give valuable insights into such fundamental philosophical issues as personal identity, the nature of consciousness, the relation between mind and body, and knowledge of other minds. |
Readership: Second- and third-year undergraduates taking courses in the theory of knowledge or the philosophy of mind; also as a supplementary text for courses in the history of philosophy (from Descartes to Wittgenstein). Also valuable for scholars and graduate students who wish to have the key writings of recent years.
