• PART ONE: THE SELF AND ITS INDIVIDUATION; PART TWO: CONSCIOUSNESS, ACTION AWARENESS AND THEIR ROLE IN SELF-KNOWLEDGE; PART THREE: SELF-KNOWLEDGE. ROBUST OR FRAGILE?

the book gives a good idea of what analytic philosophy is like these days. There are lots of carefully-defined views, and disagreements keep on emerging; sometimes in ways, and for reasons, that one would not expect. . . The reader who is already immersed in the topic will recognize many of the views, and will spot new moves in the debate. The reader who is new to the field will have to work hard to map out the different views and the common themes, but that itself will be a most rewarding mental exercise.
