✦ Synopsis

This book reminds us that “in inwardness I am in myself. ” It defines our experience in terms of subjectivity, private self-awareness, and complex relationships between interiority and outwardness. The book shows that our inwardness need not confine us to narcissistic self-absorption, but may expand our capacity for richer, more sympathetic relations with others. Contents Foreword by Paul C. Santilli Acknowledgments Introduction ONE Separateness TWO Privacy THREE Cohesiveness FOURProportion FIVE Self-Knowledge SIX Others Conclusion Appendix Reductionism, Personal Identity, and Morality in Parfit’s Reasons and Persons Works Cited About the Author Index
