Can neuroscience help explain the first-person perspective? The Science of Subjectivity delves into the nature of experience, arguing that unconscious subjectivity is a reality. Neisser identifies the biological roots of the first-person, showing how ancient systems of animal navigation enable creatures like us to cope with our worldly concerns.

Joseph Neisser is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Adjunct Professor to the Neuroscience Program at Grinnell College, USA. In 2013 he was a Visiting Researcher at the Centre for Subjectivity Research (CFS) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
