There is no question that The Body and the Self deserves attention. The book focuses on an extremely important and relatively neglected topic: the role in psychology of the body schema and its connection to the subject's sense of self. The philosophical articles include the work of some of the most talented of the younger philosophers in Britain, and the psychology articles are consistently of the highest quality.
