Abstract

"This title was first published in 2001. Explaining and defending a Heideggarian account of the self and our knowledge of the world, this book addresses the fundamental issues of selfhood and the elemental question of what it means to be human. Mitchell critically examines theories of the self derived from two distinct schools of thought: Descartes, Hume, Kant, Sartre and Stirner representing a tradition which has dominated Western philosophy since Descartes; Heidegger and Laing representing a radical departure from the tradition. Mitchell focuses on two key philosophical problems throughout: the problem of knowledge and the problem of identity. Mitchell argues that ultimately Heidegger does no more than echo Stirner's empty egoism and provides a bleak, inescapable heroism for the individual."--Provided by publisher

Abstract

Psychopaths continue to be demonised by the media and estimatessuggest that a disturbing percentage of the population haspsychopathic tendencies. This timely and controversial new booksummarises what we already know about psychopathy and antisocialbehavior and puts forward a new case for its cause – withfar–reaching implications. Presents the scientific facts of psychopathy and antisocialbehavior. Addresses key questions, such as: What is psychopathy? Arethere psychopaths amongst us? What is wrong with psychopaths? Ispsychopathy due to nature or nurture? And can we treatpsychopaths? Reveals the authors′ ground–breaking research into whether anunderlying abnormality in brain development leaves psychopaths withan inability to feel emotion or fear. The resulting theory could lead to early diagnosis andrevolutionize the way society, the media and the state both viewsand contends with the psychopaths in our midst.
