Sebastian R�dl's Self-Consciousness and Objectivity is one of the most original and thought-provoking books in analytic philosophy for the last several years. An ambitious defence of absolute idealism, R�dl rejects the idea that we as thinking beings can position ourselves within a given, mind-independent reality, and instead advances the position that the very idea of an ‘objective reality’ coincides with the self-consciousness of thought.

In this outstanding collection, a roster of international contributors critically examine the significance of R�dl's arguments and develop them in new directions. Their contributions are organised into the following six sections:

Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and naturalism
Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and formal idealism
Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and quietism
Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and absolute idealism
Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and the power of judgment
Self-Consciousness and Objectivity and the determinacy of the individual

The volume concludes with an extensive response by Sebastian R�dl to his critics. This book constitutes essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary debates at ther intersection of analytic philosophy and philosophical idealism.
