An interdisciplinary look at the self that mostly inhabits the philosophical realm. We do get some input from the usual places, Gazzaniga's split brain research, Damasio's neuroscientific view of the self, developmental changes and memory, rounding out with social definitions of self as in self-identification.
It's not really a topic filled with conclusions, just more questions and definitional fights. As such it's a good introduction.
