The Essence of the Self - Geoffrey Madell - Bog

- In Defense of the Simple View of Personal Identity

Bag om The Essence of the Self

In this volume, Geoffrey Madell develops a revised account of the self, making a compelling case for why the "simple" or "anti-criterial" view of personal identity warrants a robust defense. Madell critiques recent discussions of the self for focusing on features which are common to all selves, and which therefore fail to capture the uniqueness of each self. Engaging with contemporary positions on the first person, embodiment, psychological continuity, and other ongoing arguments, Madell¿s view that the nature of the self is substantively different from that of objects in the world will generate significant discussion and debate among philosophers of mind.
