Between Ourselves - Imprint Academic

description Reviews Formats

The first volume in this series (The View from Within, ed. Francisco Varela and Jonathan Shear) was a study of first-person approaches to the study of consciousness. Second-person 'I–You' relations are central to human life yet have been neglected in consciousness research. This book puts that right, and goes further by including descriptions of animal ‘person-to-person’ interactions from primatologists Barbara Smuts and Sue Savage-Rumbaugh. Other contributions are drawn from fields as diverse as Japanese philosophy and Buddhist studies, neurophysiology, phenomenology and neuropsychology – including clinical studies on autism and face-recognition disorders.

"I highly recommend the collection... should be looked at by anyone who wants to think about what form a phenomenological contribution to some of the problems studied by cognitive scientists might take."

"Interdisciplinary research on empathy is important both for theoretical understanding of intersubjectivity and to meet practical goals such as better physician-patient relationships. Between Ourselves has made solid strides in both of these directions."
