Bøger af Christopher (Columbia University) Peacocke

Christopher Peacocke presents a new theory of subjects of consciousness, together with a theory of the nature of first person representation. He identifies three sorts of self-consciousness-perspectival, reflective, and interpersonal-and argues that they are key to explaining features of our knowledge, social relations, and emotional lives.

What is it to be able to think about the material world, about oneself, and about other people? Christopher Peacocke argues that our concepts are to be explained in terms of the conditions in which they refer to aspects of the world. Reference and truth are fundamental in understanding.
