What is Sensation and Apperception about?

<p>Issues of subjectivity and consciousness are dealt with in very different ways in the analytic tradition and in the idealistic&#8211;phenomenological tradition central to continental philosophy. This book brings together analytically inspired philosophers working on the continent with English-speaking philosophers to address specific issues regarding subjectivity and consciousness. The issues range from acquaintance and immediacy in perception and apperception, to the role of agency in bodily &#8216;mine-ness&#8217;, to self-determination (Selbstbestimmung) through (free) action. Thus involving philosophers of different traditions should yield a deeper vision of consciousness and subjectivity; one relating the mind not only to nature, or to first-person authority in linguistic creatures&#8211;questions which, in the analytic tradition, are sometimes treated as exhausting the topic&#8211;but also to many other aspects of mind&#8217;s understanding of itself in ways which disrupt classic inner/outer boundaries.<br></p>
