Beskrivning
The nature and reality of self is a subject of increasing prominence among Western philosophers of mind and cognitive scientists. It has also been central to Indian and Tibetan philosophical traditions for over two thousand years. It is time to bring the rich resources of these traditions into the contemporary debate about the nature of self. This volume is the first of its kind. Leading philosophical scholars of the Indian and Tibetan traditions join with leading Western philosophers of mind and phenomenologists to explore issues about consciousness and selfhood from these multiple perspectives. Self, No Self? is not a collection of historical or comparative essays. It takes problem-solving and conceptual and phenomenological analysis as central to philosophy. The essays mobilize the argumentative resources of diverse philosophical traditions to address issues about the self in the context of contemporary philosophy and cognitive science. Self, No Self? will be essential reading for philosophers and cognitive scientists interested in the nature of the self and consciousness, and will offer a valuable way into the subject for students.

    Professorn emeritus och författaren Mark Siderits har sammansatt en mycket väl genomtänkt filosofisk antologi om självet tillsammans med ett 10-tal medförfattare.

    Antologin innehåller essäer med stor bredd om bland annat perspektivet på självet från västerländsk analytisk och fenomenologisk syn men även från indisk tradition. Frågan om självets verkliga natur har varit framträdande bland asiatiska och västerländska filosofer.

    Dessa perspektiv är mycket välrepresenterade i antologin och den redovisar många utomordentligt genomtänkta och intressanta tankegångar i essäerna. Antologin är ingen filosofihistorisk essäsamling, den är en problemorienterad och argumenterande redovisning som uppmuntrar och ger läsaren rikliga tillfällen att belysa frågeställningarna ur eget perspektiv.

    Jag har blivit mycket engagerad av antologin och känner att den är viktig läsning för envar som är intresserad av självet vare sig det är ur privat eller yrkesmässig synvinkel. Det är en bok som man absolut bör läsa för den goda behållning som den ger.
