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, mind-body dualism and knowledge of other minds. The editor's introduction sets the essays in their historical context and shows their relation to topics in other areas of philosophy. This title should be of interest to second- and third-year undergraduates taking courses in the theory of knowledge or the philosophy of mind, and also scholars and graduate students who wish to have the key writings of recent years. It is also suitable as a supplementary text for courses in the history of philosophy (from Descartes to Wittgenstein).
