Julian Baggini - The Ego Trick - Video interview

I look forward to reading Julian Baggini's new book, The Ego Trick, when I don't have classes anymore. Baggini is collecting some of the reviews of his book at this page, as well as his own articles in support of the book (which can give us a sense of what it is he is doing).

The Ego Trick - Video interview

Video interview by Jules Evans at The Politics of Well-Being blog about British philosopher Julian Baggini's new book, The Ego Trick: In Search of the Self. The book looks at how a sense of self emerges in us without any essential or permanent self actually existing. What does this mean for our lives, and can philosophy help us to construct good characters out of the incoherent bundles of our personalities?
