The Formation of the Modern Self: Reason, Happiness and the Passions from Montaigne to Kant

Felix Ó Murchadha

Philosophy

Research output: Book/Report › Book › peer-review

Abstract

Charting a genealogy of the modern idea of the self, Felix Ó Murchadha explores the accounts of self-identity expounded by key Early Modern philosophers, Montaigne, Descartes, Pascal, Spinoza, Hume and Kant. The question of the self as we would discuss it today only came to the forefront of philosophical concern with Modernity, beginning with an appeal to the inherited models of the self found in Stoicism, Scepticism, Augustinianism and Pelagianism, before continuing to develop as a subject of philosophical debate.
