‘This wide-ranging collection of essays by philosophers of mind across the Continent and the Anglophone world is inspired by Sartre’s difficult but fecund doctrine of the pre-reflective cogito. Thanks to this book, the study of human consciousness may just return to where it belongs - fundamental ontology.’Joseph K. Schear, University of Oxford, UK‘This excellent volume marks the long-overdue recognition of the originality and subtlety of Sartre’s contributions to the philosophy of consciousness. The essays are of high quality and the collection as a whole should be of great interest to anyone working on the phenomenology and ontology of consciousness.’Peter Poellner, University of Warwick, UK
