Ich und die anderen - Zu den intersubjektiven Bedingungen von Selbstbewusstsein

Whoever has thoughts, feelings, perceptions, wishes or impressions also knows that he himself has these states. This assumption has a long history in philosophical discussion of self-consciousness. But what conditions must be fulfilled for such knowledge to be possible? This book argues that self-consciousness is only possible under conditions of intersubjectivity.
