Frontmatter -- Contents -- Figures -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Part I: Preliminary Remarks on Person, the Self, and Mutual Recognition -- Introduction -- Chapter 1 Introductory Reflections on Mutual Recognition -- Chapter 2 Approaching Personhood from Relationality -- Chapter 3 Aspects and Problems of Empathy -- Part II: Developing Relational Selfhood -- Chapter 4 About Being Oneself as Another -- Chapter 5 The Self as Person -- Chapter 6 Empathic Understanding and Agency as Mutual Recognition -- Chapter 7 An Outlook to Social Appreciation -- Epilogue -- References -- Index
Summary: The disciplines of philosophy and cultural anthropology have one thing in common: human behavior. Yet surprisingly, dialogue between the two fields has remained largely silent until now. Selfhood and Recognition combines philosophical and cultural anthropological accounts of the perception of individual action, exploring the processes through which a person recognizes the self and the other. Touching on humanity as porous, fractal, dividual, and relational, the author sheds new light on the nature of selfhood, recognition, relationality, and human life.
