The concept of a person is not a metaphysical notion but a forensic one, that of a being who enters into the moral and normative relations of civil society. A person is a bundle but it is also a structured bundle. Hume's metaphysics of relations is argued must be replaced by a more adequate one such as that of Russell, but beyond that Hume's account is essentially correct. In particular it is argued that it is one's character that constitutes one's identity; and that sympathy and the passions of pride and humility are central in forming and maintaining one's character and one's identity as a person. But also central is one's body: a person is an embodied consciousness: the notion that one's body is essential to one's identity is defended at length. Various concepts of mind and consciousness are examined - for example, neutral monism and intentionality - and also the concept of privacy and our inferences to other minds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47584896483479,"sku":"9783110326680","price":23465.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110326680.webp?v=1774958284","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/body-mind-and-self-in-humes-critical-realism-9783110326680","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
