{"product_id":"9781316190081","title":"Self-Awareness in Islamic Philosophy: Avicenna and Beyond","description":"This important book investigates the emergence and development of a distinct concept of self-awareness in post-classical, pre-modern Islamic philosophy. Jari Kaukua presents the first extended analysis of Avicenna's arguments on self-awareness - including the flying man, the argument from the unity of experience, the argument against reflection models of self-awareness and the argument from personal identity - arguing that all these arguments hinge on a clearly definable concept of self-awareness as pure first-personality. He substantiates his interpretation with an analysis of Suhrawardī's use of Avicenna's concept and Mullā Sadrā's revision of the underlying concept of selfhood. The study explores evidence for a sustained, pre-modern and non-Western discussion of selfhood and self-awareness, challenging the idea that these concepts are distinctly modern, European concerns. The book will be of interest to a range of readers in history of philosophy, history of ideas, Islamic studies and philosophy of mind.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130894139632,"sku":"9781316190081","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316190081_p0.jpg?v=1763706625","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316190081","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
