<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A humanistic account of self-consciousness and personal identity, and offering a structural parallel between the epistemology of memory and bodily awareness. It provides a much-needed rapprochement between Analytic and Phenomenological approaches, developing Wittgenstein's insights into "I"-as-subject and self-identification.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"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)</p><br><br>"Andy Hamilton's The Self in Question is a penetrating and refreshingly original work on the related topics of self-consciousness, memory, self-reference, and personal identity. It locates previously unrecognised connections between these topics, and its discussion of conceptual holisms is particularly important. Hamilton carves out a distinctive and plausible position covering a wide range of key topics in epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of language, and he does so in a way that will be useful to readers both inside and outside the Analytic tradition."
