Description

Book Synopsis
Explores human consciousness in its most basic sense: the awareness, at any given moment, that we live and feel. Such awareness, it argues, is distinct from the categories of selfhood to which it is often assimilated, and can only be uncovered at the margins of first-person experience. What would it mean to be conscious without being a first person - to be conscious in the absence of a self?

Trade Review
This is important and original work, argued with passion, eloquence, and style, and it will meet an interested audience in the growing group of Renaissance and early modern scholars interested in affects, environments, cognition, and phenomenology."" - Julia Lupton, author of Thinking with Shakespeare: Essays on Politics and Life
