Perspectives on the Self (original) (raw)

This collection contains seventeen articles on the self and related subjects. All are published here for the first time. The collection covers a wide range of topics: metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, philos- ophy of language, history of philosophy (modern and ancient, eastern and western), aesthetics and ethics. This variety explains the title - Perspectives on the Self. The occasion for the volume was a conference on The Self held on March 31 and April 1 2016 at The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Rijeka, Croatia. This collection is the end product of the activities of a group of philosophers from the Rijeka Department of Philosophy and colleagues who have worked with them. The activity of this group started in the autumn of 2010 as an informal weekly seminar on identity. Philosophers made up the core of the group, although colleagues from the departments of Psychology and Literature also took part.
