No Self to be Found

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of personal identity, the book critiques traditional accounts that stem from flawed assumptions, highlighting David Hume's assertion that the self is a fiction. It presents a fresh interpretation of Hume's no-self theory, advocating for an eliminative perspective rather than a reductive one. By incorporating phenomenology, Buddhist critiques, and the notion of a constructed self-image, it delves into the fundamental question of whether personal identity truly exists, challenging readers to reconsider their understanding of self.
