The concept of a person is not a metaphysical notion but a forensic one, that of a being who enters into the moral and normative relations of civil society. A person is a bundle but it is also a structured bundle. Hume’s metaphysics of relations is argued must be replaced by a more adequate one such as that of Russell, but beyond that Hume’s account is essentially correct. In particular it is argued that it is one’s character that constitutes one’s identity; and that sympathy and the passions of pride and humility are central in forming and maintaining one’s character and one’s identity as a person. But also central is one’s body: a person is an embodied consciousness: the notion that one’s body is essential to one’s identity is defended at length. Various concepts of mind and consciousness are examined - for example, neutral monism and intentionality - and also the concept of privacy and our inferences to other minds.","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516482707799,"sku":"9783110326680","price":175.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/body-mind-and-self-in-hume-s-critical-realism-9783110326680","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
