Jonardon Ganeri is a philosopher whose work draws on a variety of philosophical traditions to construct new positions in the philosophy of mind, metaphysics and epistemology. He is the author of Attention, Not Self, The Self, The Concealed Art of the Soul, The Lost Age of Reason, and Semantic Powers, all published by Oxford University Press. He joined the Fellowship of the British Academy in 2015, and won the Infosys Prize in the Humanities the same year, the only philosopher to do so.

The book is replete with insights and original suggestions for even the most seasoned of Pessoa scholars, while the clear and accessible style will retain appeal for the more general reader. Erudite without ever retreating into unnecessary obscurity, Ganeri marshals point upon point and shows a detailed, specialized knowledge not only of various strands of philosophy, but also of the intricacies of Pessoa studies. Exemplary referencing showcases an ability to combine originality with intellectual generosity. The end result is a landmark study, refreshingly free of the usual pieties, conscious of the most recent developments, and with the potential to galvanize the field of Pessoa studies.
