Description
The Subject of Experience by Galen Strawson explores the nature of self and person. This collection of essays draws on literature, psychology, and philosophy to examine the fundamental questions of metaphysics and phenomenology. Strawson argues that it is possible to distinguish between the self and the human being, but challenges the notion that selves can be said to last in the same way as human beings. He also critiques the idea of a narrative self and considers the differences between those who feel a sense of continuity over time and those who do not. Through an examination of the works of Locke, Hume, and Kant, Strawson develops his own approach to understanding the nature of the self. This thought-provoking work is ideal for anyone interested in philosophy, metaphysics, or psychology.
