Description: Stephen Mulhall presents a series of multiply interrelated essays which explore the idea of selfhood as a matter of non-self-identity: for example, as becoming or self-overcoming or as being doubled or divided. He draws on Nietzsche, Sartre and Wittgenstein, but also on works of opera, cinema, and fiction.
