  • "The topic of this book is self-consciousness, which is a kind of knowledge, namely knowledge of oneself as oneself, or self-knowledge. Sebastian Rödl's thesis is that self-knowledge is not empirical; it does not spring from sensory affection. Rather, self-knowledge is knowledge from spontaneity; its object and its source are the subject's own activity, in the primary instance its acts of thinking, both theoretical and practical thinking, belief and action. The chapters of this book cover action and belief, freedom and reason, receptive knowledge and the second person. Each of these topics deserves its own book. And yet they would all be books on self-consciousness, for self-consciousness is the principle of their respective subject matters. Contemporary theories have been badly served by failing to acknowledge this. Taking the full measure of this insight requires a major conceptual reorientation in action theory, the philosophy of mind, and epistemology, which is begun in this book. As it can be said to be the principal thought animating Kant and his Idealist successors that self-consciousness occupies this central position, the book can be read as an attempt to recover and rejuvenate the achievement of the German Idealist tradition."

  • "Der Gegenstand dieses Buchs ist Selbstbewußtsein, das heißt: das Wissen von sich als von sich. Sebastian Rödls zentrale These lautet, daß dieses Wissen nicht empirischer Natur ist und nicht auf sinnlicher Affektion beruht. Vielmehr ist es ein Wissen durch Spontaneität, dessen Gegenstand und Quelle die Tätigkeit des Subjekts sind, insbesondere sein praktisches wie theoretisches Denken, sein Urteilen wie Handeln. Die Kapitel dieses Buches behandeln Überzeugung, Handeln, Vernunft und Freiheit, rezeptive Erkenntnis und die zweite Person. Jedes dieser Themen verdiente ein eigenes Buch. Und doch wären all diese Bücher solche über Selbstbewußtsein, denn Selbstbewußtsein ist das allen diesen Themen zugrundeliegende Prinzip. Diese fundamentale Einsicht erzwingt eine Neuorientierung in der Handlungstheorie, der Philosophie des Geistes und der Erkenntnistheorie, mit der das vorliegende Buch einen Anfang macht."
