Explore the profound insights of selfhood with Self and Other by renowned philosopher Dan Zahavi. Published by Oxford University Press in 2016, this engaging paperback spans 296 pages and delves into the intricate relationship between self-identity and the external world. Zahavi masterfully intertwines classical phenomenology with contemporary discussions in the philosophy of mind and various empirical disciplines, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the essence of what it means to be oneself. He argues that true selfhood exists independently of social constructs, yet acknowledges the interplay of other-mediated experiences in shaping our understanding of self. This book is an essential read for those interested in philosophy, psychology, and the complexities of human existence.
