Things That Bother Me Death, Freedom, the Self, Etc.【電子書籍】[ Galen Strawson ]
<p><strong>An original collection of lauded philosopher Galen Strawson's writings on the self and consciousness, naturalism and pan-psychism.</strong></p> <p>Galen Strawson might be described as the Montaigne of modern philosophers, endlessly curious, enormously erudite, unafraid of strange, difficult, and provocative propositions, and able to describe them clearlyーin other words, he is a true essayist. Strawson also shares with Montaigne a particular fascination with the elastic and elusive nature of the self and of consciousness. Of the essays collected here, “A Fallacy of Our Age” (an inspiration for Vendela Vida’s novel <em>Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name</em>) takes issue with the commencement-address clich? that life is a story. Strawson questions whether it is desirable or even meaningful to think about life that way. “The Sense of the Self” offers an alternative account, in part personal, of how a distinct sense of self is not at all incompatible with a sense of the self as discontinuous, leading Strawson to a position that he sees as in some ways Buddhist. “Real Naturalism” argues that a fully naturalist account of consciousness supports a belief in the immanence of consciousness in nature as a whole (also known as panpsychism), while in the final essay Strawson offers a vivid account of coming of age in the 1960s.</p> <p>Drawing on literature and life as much as on philosophy, this is a book that prompts both argument and wonder.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
