Dan Zahavi, the editor of this collection, heads the Center for Subjectivity
Research, at the University of Copenhagen. The essays reflect the interests
of the Center and seek to address the following issue: To what extent can
the current discussion of consciousness in mainstream cognitive science
and analytical philosophy of mind profit from insights drawn from the investigations
of subjectivity found in the Kantian and post-Kantian tradition (Kant,
Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard) as well as in the phenomenological and hermeneutical
tradition. The contributions include some that are philosophical, while
others relate to issues in empirical science, such as psychopathology,
cognitive neuroscience, and developmental psychology.
Contributors include Andrew Brook, John Drummond, Shaun Gallagher, Arne
Groen, Josef Parnas, Peter Poellner, Sonja Rinofner-Kreidl, Louis Sass,
Dieter Teichert and Dan Zahavi.
"The contents of this volume achieve well their intended aim, to serve
as 'appetizers' to these traditions [the Kantian and post-Kantian tradition,
in phenomenology and in hermeneutics] and the ways they can be drawn on."
