Self to Self

This thought-provoking book by philosopher J. David Velleman delves into the complex topics of personal identity, autonomy, and moral emotions. With a unifying thesis that challenges the notion of a singular self, Velleman draws on diverse subjects including Kantian ethics, psychoanalytic theory, and social psychology. Two of the essays were selected as among the best papers in their year of publication. Self to Self invites readers to ponder the nature of the self and will appeal to philosophers, psychologists, and anyone interested in self-exploration.
