Self-Knowledge: Beginning Philosophy Right Here and Now

by Stephen Cade Hetherington

Self-Knowledge introduces philosophical ideas about knowledge and the self. The book takes the form of a personal it is one person’s attempt to reflect philosophically upon vital aspects of his existence. It shows how profound philosophy can swiftly emerge from intense private reflection upon the details of one’s life and, thus, will help the reader take the first steps toward philosophical self-understanding. Along the way, readers will encounter moments of puzzlement, then clarity, followed by more perplexity and further insights, and then―finally―some philosophical peace of mind.
