Self-Awareness and Alterity "is well organized, clear, and
evenhanded, and it advances a thesis that is highly original and
convincing, one that should command attention not only from
phenomenologists but from any philosopher interested in the topic
of self-awareness... There simply is no other work in phenomenology
that goes at the problem of self-awareness in such detail and in
such a systematic and illuminating way." --Steven Crowell, author
of Husserl, Heidegger, and the Space of Meaning
"An ambitious and original discussion of subjectivity and
self-consciousness . . . accessible, rigorous, and engaging."
--Robert Piercey, author of The Uses of the Past From Heidegger to
Rorty
"This book, significant in its phenomenological detail, shows how
phenomenology can contribute important insights that are easily
overlooked in both analytic and scientific accounts of human
experience." --Shaun Gallagher, author of The Inordinance of Time
