| Summary |
Annotation In these essays White (philosophy, Tufts U.) examines the forms of psychological integration that give rise to self-knowable and self- conscious individuals who are responsible, concerned for the future, and capable of moral commitment. The essays cover a wide range of basic issues in philosophy of mind, metraphysics, moral psychology, and political philosophy, providing a coherent, sophisticated, and forcefully argued view of the nature of the self.
