When a subject has an ordinary experience (as of a bouncing red ball, for example), the thought goes, she is not just phenomenally aware of the world as being presented in a certain way (a bouncy, reddish, roundish way in this case); she is also phenomenally aware of the fact that it is presented to her. This supposed phenomenal dimension has been variously called \u003cem\u003emineness\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003efor-me-ness\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003epre-reflective self-awareness\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003esubjective character\u003c\/em\u003e, among others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis view, associated with historical figures such as William James, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Sartre, is attracting a new surge of attention at the crossroads of phenomenology, analytic philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of cognitive science, but also intense controversy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book explores some of the questions running through the ongoing debate on the putative subjective dimension of experience: \u003cem\u003eDoes it exist?\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eexistence\u003c\/em\u003e question; \u003cem\u003eWhat is it?\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eessence\u003c\/em\u003e question; \u003cem\u003eWhat is it for?\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003efunction\u003c\/em\u003e question; and \u003cem\u003eWhat else does it explain?\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eexplanation\u003c\/em\u003e question. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume also surveys various domains of human experience, both normal and pathological, where a 'sense of self' might be at play, including agency, bodily awareness, introspection, memory, emotions, and values, and offers insights into the possible relations between the notions of subjective awareness involved. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first part of the book is devoted to more sceptical or deflationary views about self-experience, and the second, to more robust ones.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46416505340055,"sku":"9780198805397","price":14682.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198805397.webp?v=1769063695","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/self-experience-essays-on-inner-awareness-9780198805397","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
