Senses of Self

This collection has its origins in four interdisciplinary workshops one held annually at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain from 2010-2012 (Origins of Self-Consciousness I-III Workshop on Pre-Reflective Self-Consciousness) and one at the Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung (ZiF) in Bielefeld in 2013 (Self-Representationalism Pre-Reflectivity and Mental Impairment). This original interdisciplinary approach especially the dialogue with neuroscientists and psychiatrists has been retained in this collection. However the collection has been enlarged by a number of solicited contributions that highlight special aspects of the core theme: self-consciousness.
