Dan Zahavi
Professor of Philosophy at University of Copenhagen and Director of the Center for Subjectivity Research. In his systematic work, Zahavi has mainly been investigating the nature of consciousness, self-consciousness, selfhood, intersubjectivity, and social cognition from a phenomenological perspective. He is author and editor of more than 25 volumes including Husserl’s Phenomenology (Stanford 2003), Subjectivity and Selfhood (MIT Press 2005), The Phenomenological Mind together with S. Gallagher (Routledge 2008), and most recently Self and Other (OUP 2014). He is co-editor in chief of the journal Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences.
Self-awareness and alterity
A phenomenological investigation
Dan Zahavi
Taking on recent discussions within both analytical philosophy (Shoemaker, Castaneda, Nagel) and contemporary German philosophy (Henrich, Frank, Tugendhat), Zahavi argues that the phenomenological tradition has much more to offer when it comes to the problem of self-awareness than is normally assumed. As a contribution to the current philosophical debate concerning self-awareness, the book presents a comprehensive reconstruction of Husserl's theory of pre-reflective self-awareness, thereby criticizing a number of prevalent interpretations and a systematic discussion of a number of phenomenological insights related to this issue, including analyses of the temporal, intentional, reflexive, bodily, and social nature of the self.
