Abstract

The aim of the book is to present an integrated account of subjects of consciousness and the first person way of thinking about a subject of consciousness, and to apply the integrated account to some classical issues in the epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind that concern subjects of consciousness. Our discussion of this topic should be reoriented in three respects: (i) it should recognize an option beyond the three traditional positions of subjects as either constructs from mental events, as essentially embodied, or as Cartesian egos; (ii) it should acknowledge the primacy of the metaphysics of subjects in these issues; (iii) it should recognize that there is first person content at the nonconceptual level. An overview is given of the content and relations between the later chapters.
