JARI KAUKUA
Self-Awareness in Islamic Philosophy: Avicenna and Beyond. Cambridge University Press 2015.
In his study, Kaukua investigates the emergence and development of a distinct concept of self-awareness in post-classical, pre-modern Islamic Philosophy. More particularly, he explores evidence for a sustained, pre-modern and non-Western discussion of selfhood and self-awareness, challenging the idea that these concepts are distinctly modern, European concerns.
