This course will center on an examination of the thesis that "all consciousness is self-consciousness." This thesis has been put forward by philosophers and psychologists from different traditions and in different periods of the history of thought. We will draw on these different traditions (including Post-Kantian, Phenomenological, and Analytic philosophy as well as psychology) to try to understand the thesis, the arguments for it, and its implications. Authors to be studied may include the following: Kant, Fichte, Heidegger, Sartre, Wittgenstein, Shoemaker and Burge.
