{"product_id":"self-awareness-in-islamic-philosophy-jari-kaukua-9781107460805","title":"Self-Awareness in Islamic Philosophy: Avicenna and Beyond","description":"This important book investigates the emergence and development of a distinct concept of self-awareness in post-classical, pre-modern Islamic philosophy. Jari Kaukua presents the first extended analysis of Avicenna's arguments on self-awareness - including the flying man, the argument from the unity of experience, the argument against reflection models of self-awareness and the argument from personal identity - arguing that all these arguments hinge on a clearly definable concept of self-awareness as pure first-personality. He substantiates his interpretation with an analysis of Suhrawardī's use of Avicenna's concept and Mullā Sadrā's revision of the underlying concept of selfhood. The study explores evidence for a sustained, pre-modern and non-Western discussion of selfhood and self-awareness, challenging the idea that these concepts are distinctly modern, European concerns. The book will be of interest to a range of readers in history of philosophy, history of ideas, Islamic studies and philosophy of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jari Kaukua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107460808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107460805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Jari Kaukua","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991874142463,"sku":"9781107460805","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25d5baaf-4d76-4221-9770-a08d8a16dae5.jpg?v=1683312735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/self-awareness-in-islamic-philosophy-jari-kaukua-9781107460805","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
