Descrizione
The article discusses the views of such authors as Dennett, Metzinger and Churchland, who dissolve the ontological reality of the self and of human persons. It is argued that, to defend the view according to which persons are part of the furniture of the world, the Cartesian view of the self, as an absolutely self-transparent and self-sufficient reality, must be abandoned. Persons should be viewed as inherently embodied and essentially related to others. They are biological bodies endowed with consciousness and with a first-person perspective: as such, they emerge from their biological bases, even though they cannot abstract from it.
