This book uses a neo-Aristotelian framework to examine human
subjectivity as an embodied being. It examines the varieties of
reductionism that affect philosophical writing about human origins and
identity, and explores the nature of rational subjectivity as emergent
from our neurobiological constitution. This allows a consideration of
the effect of neurological interventions such as psychosurgery,
neuroimplantation, and the promise of cyborgs on the image of the
human. It then examines multiple personality disorder and its
implications for narrative theories of the self, and explores the idea
of human spirituality as an essential aspect of embodied human
subjectivity.
