Self-Consciousness and Objectivity : An Introduction to Absolute Idealism

It is an ancient idea that philosophy seeks self-understanding. In this splendid book, Sebastian R dl thinks through exactly what this idea comes to, and shows it to have truly revolutionary consequences. On every page, the most fundamental issues are pursued at a remarkable level of insight and depth. The result is a transformative work of philosophy, which succeeds in opening up the vista of absolute idealism for a contemporary audience.--Adrian Haddock, University of Stirling Self-Consciousness and Objectivity is a terrific book! It addresses the most essential questions about self-consciousness and its place in the world in an original and compelling way. Sebastian R dl challenges central doctrines in semantics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind, providing a new perspective on entrenched lines of thought in contemporary philosophy. This book ought to be read widely.--Berislav Marusic, Brandeis University
