Book Description
In Personal Identity and Self-Consciousness, Brian Garrett presents an original and comprehensive theory of persons: their nature, their values, and their self-consciousness. He begins by proposing a new theory of personal identity over time. Next, he defends the importance of personal identity against recent sceptical attack. Finally, Garrett explores the nature of self-consciousness by examining the elusive pronoun 'I' and the various grounds of our 'I' judgements.
Brian Garrett places recent discussions of personal identity in a broader context, and links issues in personal identity with other central issues in philosophy, notably the problem of self-consciousness and questions in ethics. Garrett manages to tackle a technical and complex discussion with jargon-free and elegant language.
This is the first book of its kind to bring together the many different issues that surround the discussion of personal identity. Brian Garrett makes an important and original contribution to the study of the philosophy of personal identity, the philosophy of mind, and to epistemology.
Review
"Brian Garrett has written an intelligent, thoughtful and thought-provoking book, which significantly moves the debate along, and which should be read by students and by all philosophers interested in personal identity ." -- Paul Snowdon, Oxford University
