He is the author of \u003ci\u003eFreedom and Belief\u003c\/i\u003e (1986), \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Connexion\u003c\/i\u003e (1989) and \u003ci\u003eMental Reality\u003c\/i\u003e (1994). Many of us experience ourselves as having or being a 'self', even though we may not be clear what that is. The philosophical papers in this volume reflect on key questions about the self, such as: Does the self exist? If so, what is its nature? Is it a single thing, or could there be a succession of selves? Could our sense of a single continuous self be an illusion? What are the ethical implications of selfhood? And what is the relation between self-expression and self-control? The papers are written by leading authorities in the field: Barry Dainton, Ingmar Persson, Marya Schechtman, Bas van Fraassen, Peter van Inwagen, and the volume editor, Galen Strawson.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990338781413,"sku":"NP9781405129879","price":43.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405129879.jpg?v=1761787418","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-self-isbn-9781405129879","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
