Reviews

not only unusually rich in its discussions of phenomenology and questions about the self, but also impressively honest. ... Barry Dainton has many insightful and important things to say. The bottom line is that anyone interested in such issues could not fail to learn a great deal from his lucid and ingenious arguments and proposals. Raymond Martin, Times Literary Supplement Dainton has produced an interesting and thought provoking account of the phenomenally conscious self, which is complex and intricate and always stimulating... this book represents a robust attempt to give an account of personal identity over time in terms of the (potential and actual) ability to maintain a unified stream of phenomenal consciousness... a deep and informative discussion of phenomenal consciousness, based on some detailed phenomenology and metaphysics. Peter R. King, Erkenntnis for anyone interested in these issues the book is rich, interesting and full of provocative ideas William Uzgalis, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
