Drawing important insights from autobiographical works by Benjamin, Sartre, Orwell, Edmund Gosse, Camus, and others, Hamilton explores the revealing way that the significance of a text can change for a reader over time; how undisclosed states of being remain hidden within, of all things, an autobiography; and how the voice of a text possesses a special power to draw us in. A brilliant and thought-provoking piece of work on a topic of deep human interest.'- \u003cb\u003eGarry L. Hagberg, \u003c\/b\u003e author of \u003ci\u003eDescribing Ourselves: Wittgenstein and Autobiographical Consciousness \u003c\/i\u003e(2008), and \u003ci\u003eLiving in Words: Literature, Autobiographical Language, and the Composition of Selfhood \u003c\/i\u003e(forthcoming).\u003cbr\u003eThis book seeks to explore relations starting from Stanley Cavell's claim that philosophy and autobiography are dimensions of each other, first by seeking to develop a philosophy of autobiography, and then by exploring the issue from the side of six autobiographical works. This volume argues that there are good reasons for thinking that philosophical texts can be considered autobiographical, and then turns to discuss the autobiographies of Walter Benjamin, Peter Weiss, Jean-Paul Sartre, George Orwell, Edmund Gosse and Albert Camus. In exploring these works, this volume explores how they put into question certain received understandings of what philosophical texts suppose themselves to be doing, and also how they themselves constitute philosophical explorations of certain key issues, e.g. the self, death, religious and ethical consciousness, sensuality, the body. Throughout, there is an exploration of the ways in which autobiographies help us in thinking about self-knowledge and knowledge of others. A final chapter raises some issues concerning the fact that the six autobiographies discussed here are all texts dealing with childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Hamilton \u003c\/b\u003eis Reader in Philosophy at King's College London, UK.
