Title: Blurred : selves made and selves making / Andrew Oberg.
Description: Danvers : Brill-Rodopi, 2020. | Series: Vibs-cosc, 0929–8436 ; vol 357 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “The question of the self, of what the self is (or even if there is a self), has been one that has grown alongside humanity - has haunted humanity - throughout our history. Blurred: Selves Made & Selves Making guides the reader down these dark corridors, shining light on the specters of theories past and unveiling a new self-view to hover afresh, beckoning to roadways beyond. In this remarkably interdisciplinary study, philosophy of mind joins with contemporary neuroscience and cutting-edge psychology to lay bare the how of identity formation, judgment, and behavior generation. Drawing on thinkers from both the Continental and Analytic traditions, consciousness is explored and a uniquely realist self concept presented that, if adopted, offers a life lived otherwise”-- Provided by publisher.
