Oxford Handbook Of The Self Ohbk Paper by Gallagher
An interdisciplinary survey of theories and empirical findings on selfhood that integrates perspectives from philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, phenomenology, and social sciences. Contributions explore the minimal and narrative self, embodiment and agency, self-knowledge and first-person perspective, temporal continuity, emotion, and the social and cultural shaping of identity, alongside developmental pathways and disruptions in clinical disorders. It maps central debates—such as reductionist versus constructivist accounts and the relationship between conscious experience and neural processes—while synthesizing conceptual analysis with data-driven research. The volume serves as a comprehensive reference that highlights convergences and controversies and outlines promising directions for future inquiry.
