Reviews

the book gives a good idea of what analytic philosophy is like these days. There are lots of carefully-defined views, and disagreements keep on emerging; sometimes in ways, and for reasons, that one would not expect. . . The reader who is already immersed in the topic will recognize many of the views, and will spot new moves in the debate. The reader who is new to the field will have to work hard to map out the different views and the common themes, but that itself will be a most rewarding mental exercise.

This is a stimulating collection of essays on the nature of people and the various ways in which we represent ourselves.

The book will likely be of greatest interest to Peacocke fans since it not only includes his essay 'Subjects and Consciousness' but also includes three articles criticizing and interpreting his earlier work followed by a replyIn all, this volume offers a nice range of papers on self-knowledge, and I'd recommend it to specialists working in the area.
