The Self in Question: Memory, The Body and Self-Consciousness by Andy Hamilton

The Self in Question Reviews

The book examines the relation between self-consciousness and: memory, personal identity, proprioception, the body and linguistic mastery of the first-person. ... The book has a usefully detailed table of contents and clear introductory chapter. The different parts of the book seem relatively independent ... . Students of self-consciousness and related topics will find it a stimulating read overall as well a useful resource to consult at the more local level. (Daniel Morgan, Analysis, Vol. 76 (3), July, 2016)
