description: Long a concern for the humanities and the social sciences, questions about the nature and origins of the self have begun to be addressed by cognitive and brain scientists. Sixteen papers from a New York Academy of Sciences conference, held in September 2002, bring together concepts from neuroscience, cognitive science, social and developmental psychology, anthropology, philosophy, and theology, seek to explore the relations between views of the self from across the diverse disciplines.
