"An extremely stimulating set of papers on an important topic..." --Sidney Shoemaker, Cornell University

This collection of essays provides the latest thinking by psychologists and philosophers on bodily awareness and self-consciousness. The central problem addressed is: How is our grasp of ourselves affected by how we use and represent our bodies? Most astonishing is the evidence from patients who lack bodily awareness or proprioception, who feel they are floating uncontrollably. Along with more such strange examples come absorbing discussions -- about body image, boundary sensations, and the ecology of the self -- that are sure to affect future thinking on the nature of the body-self relation.
