Description
Know Thyself: The Value and Limits of Self-Knowledge explores the nature, value, and limits of self-knowledge through a diverse range of philosophical perspectives. Mitchell S. Green examines the link between wisdom and knowledge, the concept of personal identity, and the role of the unconscious in shaping our understanding of ourselves. The book delves into topics such as free will, self-misleading, and the automaticity of emotion, drawing on insights from psychology and neuroscience. By considering these complex issues, Green provides an unvarnished look at both the achievements and drawbacks of attempts to better know oneself. This volume is designed to be used in conjunction with a free online course, offering readers a comprehensive framework for understanding the value and limits of self-knowledge.
