The Situated Self by Jenann Ismael
The book offers a naturalistic account of personal identity and mental unity, arguing that the self is not a persistent inner substance but a situated, temporally extended system whose unity arises from an organism’s capacities for action, perception, and self-directed planning; drawing on metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science, it explains how psychological and causal connections—rather than an immaterial ego—ground personal persistence, agency, and the normative aspects of selfhood.
