Inhaltsangabe

In recent years neuroscience has contributed important insights to the concept and construction of the self from conditions, such as schizophrenia, in which the self becomes disordered. This 2003 book focuses on neuropsychiatric models of self-consciousness, set against introductory essays describing the philosophical, historical and psychological approaches.

Críticas:

'This is a thought provoking book. Kircher and David are to be congratulated on bringing together a set of seminal contributions on which further conceptual and scientific advances in understanding the phenomena of psychosis and their relationship to the human capacity of language can be based.' Journal of Neural Neurosurgery Psychiatry

'This volume on the topic of the self offers a diversity of points of view, and it is the merit of the editors to welcome contributions from such diverse domains as the cognitive sciences, philosophy, theory and clinics of psychiatry and the neurosciences ... most interesting and solid. the volume is to be recommended to anyone who is interested in the self, from a philosophical, clinical or (neuro)psychological point of view. the diversity of chapters offers richness, not confusion ... this interdisciplinary volume on the self is very readable and enjoyable. We hope the future shall bring more volumes compiled in the same spirit ...' Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences
