{"product_id":"9783868381443","title":"Who Am I? Who Is She?: A Naturalistic, Holistic, Somatic Approach to Personal Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003eAre ‘persons’ physical things, members of the species homo sapiens which exist solely in materialist form, continuous in structure with other living things? Or is the issue a more complex one: are there more dimensions to being a person than mere physical, biological existence? These are matters of interest and discussion in many fields of study in this age of individuality. In this wide-ranging essay, the author addresses various aspects of the issue, including the history of self and identity. The ancient tradition of dualism is rejected in favour of a straightforward holistic and naturalistic account of selfhood; it is argued that the mind arises in an emergent sense from the body and personal identity is best expressed in terms of a self-reflective and meaningful narrative. The approach is principally from an analytic philosophy point of view but also takes on–board psychological and sociological aspects of self and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ontos Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49789382885616,"sku":"9783868381443","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783868381443","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
