On Being Me by Emily Bernstein
A moral philosopher's meditations on some of life's most important questions
"A pithy guide to eternal questions, by a specialist in ethics and moral psychology"---Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review
"The text is accompanied by . . . clever and charming illustrations. . . . And throughout, Velleman offers a resolutely first-person meditation that, in the spirit of Descartes, eschews technical jargon and scholarly references."---Emrys Westacott, Philosophers' Magazine
"Each reader will find a different mapping onto their own experience, but it is a stimulating journey." * Paradigm Explorer *
"By reading [On Being Me] we should let its very personal prose nourish our understanding of the world and of ourselves. . . . On Being Me introduces many topics of academic philosophy – the self, the nature of time, free-will and responsibility – without getting lost in professional discussion and without losing sight of the importance of those themes in our daily life."---Daniel Peixoto Murata, The Journal of Value Inquiry
