This ambitious project involves notoriously difficult issues, such as 'self,' 'thought,' and 'consciousness,' but Longuenesse can draw on the ample resources of her highly influential studies of Kant's theories of cognition. I, Me, Mine ... brings an enormous amount of penetrating light to topics and texts that are in desperate need of it. * Patricia Kitcher, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * Longuenesse's book does not only provide us with a deeper and enriched understanding of Kant's understanding of I, but it is also packed with many insightful ideas about how we can relate different notions of various philosophers from different paradigms and disciplines... Most importantly, her treatment of Kant through Freuds ego and superego opens up a new dimension of discussion, and as her argumentation has a deep and solid structure, it is not easy for anyone working in philosophy of mind and ethics to stay unresponsive to this provocative and thought-provoking comparative analysis. * Caglan Cinar Dilek, Phenomenological Reviews *
