Dan Zahavi in Conversation with Anthony Steinbock

Описание: In the rigorous and highly original Self-Awareness and Alterity, Dan Zahavi provides a sustained argument that phenomenology, especially in its Husserlian version, can make a decisive contribution to discussions of self-awareness. Engaging with debates within both analytic philosophy (Elizabeth Anscombe, John Perry, Sydney Shoemaker, Héctor-Neri Castañeda, David Rosenthal) and German philosophy (Dieter Henrich, Manfred Frank, Ernst Tugendhat), Zahavi argues that the phenomenological tradition has much more to offer when it comes to the problem of self-awareness than is normally assumed. The new edition of this prize-winning book has been updated and revised.

DAN ZAHAVI is a professor of philosophy and the director of the Center for Subjectivity Research at the University of Copenhagen and a professor of philosophy at the University of Oxford. He is the author of many books, including Husserl’s Phenomenology, Subjectivity and Selfhood: Investigating the First-Person Perspective, Self and Other: Exploring Subjectivity, Empathy, and Shame, Husserl’s Legacy: Phenomenology, Metaphysics, and Transcendental Philosophy, and Phenomenology: The Basics.

ANTHONY STEINBOCK is a professor of philosophy at Stony Brook University and the general editor of Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy, a book series published by Northwestern University Press. He is the author of numerous works, including Moral Emotions: Reclaiming the Evidence of the Heart.
