This title was first published in 2001. Explaining and defending a
Heideggarian account of the self and our knowledge of the world,
this book addresses the fundamental issues of selfhood and the
elemental question of what it means to be human. Mitchell
critically examines theories of the self derived from two distinct
schools of thought: Descartes, Hume, Kant, Sartre and Stirner
representing a tradition which has dominated Western philosophy
since Descartes; Heidegger and Laing representing a radical
departure from the tradition. Mitchell focuses on two key
philosophical problems throughout: the problem of knowledge and the
problem of identity. Mitchell argues that ultimately Heidegger does
no more than echo Stirner's empty egoism and provides a bleak,
inescapable heroism for the individual.
