| Summary |
Self-reference and self-knowledge are constitutive for being a person and presuppose the use of the first-person pronoun. The book gives an extensive account of the various uses of this word and argues for a new theory of the first-person point of view, applied to the fields of self-knowledge and the concern for one's own future - a theory more adequate than the views about the self currently discussed in biology and neuroscience. |
