The Opacity of Mind: An Integrative Theory of Self-Knowledge
Oxford University Press (2011)
Abstract
Do we have introspective access to our own thoughts? Peter Carruthers challenges the consensus that we do: he argues that access to our own thoughts is always interpretive, grounded in perceptual awareness and sensory imagery. He proposes a bold new theory of self-knowledge, with radical implications for understanding of consciousness and agency.Author's Profile
