Being No One by Thomas Metzinger
The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity
A rigorous philosophical and neuroscientific case that what we experience as a self is not an entity but a transparent, dynamic model generated by the brain. It develops a self-model theory of subjectivity to explain how consciousness, ownership, and the first-person perspective arise from representational processes, drawing on cognitive science and neuropsychological evidence to show why the self feels real despite being a constructed illusion.
