Reading RdlOn Self-Consciousness and Objectivity\nAuthor(s): James F. Conant, Jesse M. Mulder\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032349510, 978-1032349510\nSynopsis\nSebastian Rdl's Self-Consciousness and Objectivity is one of the most original and thought-provoking books in analytic philosophy for the last several years. An ambitious defence of absolute idealism, Rdl rejects the idea that we as thinking beings can position ourselves within a given, mind-independent reality, and instead advances the position that the very idea of an objective reality coincides with the self-consciousness of thought.\n\nIn this outstanding collection, a roster of international contributors critically examine the significance of Rdl's arguments and develop them in new directions. Their contributions are organised into the following six sections:\n\n Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and naturalism\n Self-Consciousness and Objectivit.
