In Personal Identity and Literature, Hogan examines what makes an individual a particular, unique self. He draws on cognitive and affective science as well as literary works - from Walt Whitman and Frederick Douglass to Dorothy Richardson, Alice Munro, and J. M. Coetzee. His scholarly analyses are also intertwined with more personal reflections, on for example his mother´s memory loss. The result is a work that examines a complex topic by drawing on a unique range of resources, from empirical psychology and philosophy to novels, films, and biographical experiences. The book provides a clear, systematic account of personal identity that is theoretically strong, but also unique and engaging.
|- Personal/autobiographical aspect of this book draws readers in and allows them to engage with the theory on a deeper level
- Also looks at canonical authors – Whitman, Munro, Coetzee – so easy to use with students
- Identity is a pressing issue at the moment – socially, politically – so this will be of interest to readers at all levels, from UG through to research
- Draws on cognitive and neuroscience so has wide, interdisciplinary appeal
