Description
Self to Self brings together essays on personal identity, autonomy, and moral emotions by J. David Velleman.
The essays, though written independently, are united by an overarching thesis: that there is no single entity denoted by "the self". They explore themes from Kantian ethics, psychoanalytic theory, social psychology, and Velleman's work in the philosophy of action.
Of particular interest to philosophers, psychologists, and those who theorize about the self, Self to Self offers a nuanced exploration of these complex topics.
