Description
Béatrice Longuenesse explores our understanding of ourselves and how we talk about ourselves in this thought-provoking book.
She compares contemporary analyses of 'I' with Kant's account of self-consciousness, particularly the proposition 'I think.' Longuenesse argues that Kant's insights into self-consciousness can inform discussions in philosophy and psychology.
The author also examines similarities between Kant's view of mental life and Freud's analysis of the ego and superego, suggesting a potential path to naturalizing Kant's transcendental view of the mind.
