Markus Gabriel

Opis

In this highly original book, Markus Gabriel offers an account of the human self that overcomes the deadlocks inherent in the standard positions of contemporary philosophy of mind.

Recenzje

"Markus Gabriel has a radical and deeply interesting conception of what philosophical picture we should form of our situation, a conception which has roots in classical German philosophy and retrieves a powerful but neglected portion of the existentialist legacy. This book weighs the familiar claims of naturalism and anti-naturalism in new terms and puts forward an original proposal for exiting from the deadlock to which they all too often lead." Sebastian Gardner, University College, London
