Wider discusses Jean-Paul Sartre's analysis of consciousness in Being and Nothingness in light of recent work by analytic philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA coherent and convincing theory of consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e * The Review of Metaphysics *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWider's discussion is coherent, detailed, and fascinating, and her account of recent work on consciousness and embodiment is well informed. A major strength of her book is its clarity, both organizational and conceptual. She writes in a direct and unpretentious style, and presents frequent summaries and reminders of earlier points, so the intricacies of the argument are easy to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Natika Newton, Suffolk County Community College * Behavior and Philosophy *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a complex and intriguing work. Wider has woven a sustained argument from a wealth of scholarly material drawn from distinct traditions in support of her two interrelated theses: that consciousness is invariably self-consciousness and that the body is the subject of self-consciousness... It certainly challenges students of Sartre to reconsider his notion of human freedom in light of our incarnate nature.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Elizabeth Murray Morelli * Sartre Studies Interantional *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a product of that all too rare blindness to the boundary separating philosophy into analytic and continental; if not a blindness, then a healthy disregard... Wider's open-mindedness and expansive erudition find their rewards in a treatment of the issues raised that is likely to appeal to any philosophy convinced that an acknowledgement of both first-person and third-person perspectives is necessary for an understanding of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Maurice Larkin, University College Dublin * International Journal of Philosophical Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thoughtful book.... Wider does a great job of guiding the reader through her theses and presenting clearly written arguments.\u003c\/p\u003e * Philosophy in Review *","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405167665495,"sku":"9780801485022","price":29.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780801485022.jpg?v=1730488960","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-bodily-nature-of-consciousness-sartre-and-contemporary-philosophy-of-mind-9780801485022","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
