"...an exciting read because it is a fresh and vivid challenge to dualist and physicalist views about the mind, language, and the self.... Ismael's book is not just another philosophy book--it is feminist scientific theory in the making about mind and language.... Dynamic, thought provoking, and innovative is the only way to describe J. T. Ismael's The Situated Self. It is a definite must read for those wanting to get their heads into a serious scientific theory driven work in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language."--Feminism and Philosophy


"How do human selves find their way into the natural order? The answer, Ismael argues, lies in a delicate (perhaps uniquely human) balancing act between emergent organization and directed, self-model involving control. Steering confidently between the ant colony and the inner theatre, Ismael leads the reader on a compelling journey to the very heart of the mind and self. Philosophically incisive, scientifically astute, endlessly challenging and deeply engaging, this is a must for anyone who cares about who they are, and how they came to be."--Andy Clark, Edinburgh University


"This is a brilliant study of fundamental issues by a leading philosopher of her generation: clear, deep, and illuminating."--John Perry, Stanford University


"The Situated Self is genuinely elegant and philosophically deep. It exhibits a finely-tuned sense for where the hardest and most important problems are, and pares away at the central ideas until they are spare and hardened. It is the work of a powerful and original mind."--Elijah Milgram, University of Utah
