Description: "Peter Goldie explores the ways in which we think about our lives--our past, present, and future--in narrative terms. ... Goldie supports scepticism about the idea that there is such as thing as a narrative self, but argues that having a narrative sense of self, quite distinct from any metaphysical notion of selfhood, is at the heart of what it is to think of ourselves, and others, as having a narratable past, present, and future"--Jacket, p. [4].
