Reviews
"In this entertaining, educative and gracefully written book, Julian Baggini explores the question of the nature of the self and in what sense it persists through time. ... This is one of the best, most readable and most stimulating introductions yet written about this intriguing topic. Enjoy, and profit." AC Grayling in the FT.
"Baggini works on a broad canvas, citing Hume and Locke alongside the reflections of sex-change patients and victims of dementia. While leaving the ego in pieces, he gives your mind a thorough workout." One of Maggie Fergusson's picks of the Season in Spring's Intelligent Life
