Jari Kaukua presents the first extended analysis of Avicenna's arguments on self-awareness - including the flying man, the argument from the unity of experience, the argument against reflection models of self-awareness and the argument from personal identity - arguing that all these arguments hinge on a clearly definable concept of self-awareness as pure first-personality. He substantiates his interpretation with an analysis of Suhrawardi's use of Avicenna's concept and Mulla Sadra's revision of the underlying concept of selfhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study explores evidence for a sustained, pre-modern and non-Western discussion of selfhood and self-awareness, challenging the idea that these concepts are distinctly modern, European concerns. The book will be of interest to a range of readers in history of philosophy, history of ideas, Islamic studies and philosophy of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14081910472739,"sku":"9781107460805","price":72.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/48378be8bb2586143a3c153688e4934e1531709c.jpg?v=1551770392","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/selfawarenessinislamicphilosophyavicennaandbeyond","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
