Description

Mary Midgley's Are You an Illusion? is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of self and its relationship to science. The renowned philosopher argues that our experiences and thoughts are essential in understanding ourselves, challenging the idea that brain cells alone can define us.

In this book, Midgley examines how ideas and traditions have been shaped by science's focus on the physical world, revealing a narrow perspective that neglects the subjective sources of thought. She offers a balanced analysis of the debate surrounding the self, injecting common sense into a discussion increasingly in need of it.

Featuring a new Foreword by Stephen Cave, this Routledge Classics edition provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the human experience and the role of imagination in shaping our world.
