J. T. Ismael's "The Situated Self" provides a unique account of the
relation between self and world. The book has three major parts. The
first part explores an account of the situated mind with emphasis on
reflexive representation --the self is situated in the physical world
through mental representations defined as egocentric maps that enable
navigation through an environment. The second part employs ideas
developed in the first part to address traditional problems in
philosophy: Frank Jackson's (1986) argument for dualism, the problem
of the inverted spectrum, and McTaggart's (1908) argument against time
as an intrinsic property of events. The third part provides details
for Ismael's account of the self, which is defined as "a sealed pocket
of world-representing structure".�Link:
