Egozentrizität und Mystik

In this book, Ernst Tugendhat applies the methods of analytical philosophy to fundamental anthropological questions. What does it mean to behave towards oneself in an "I"-saying manner? How does the self-reference of humans differ from the rudimentary egocentrism of other animals? In light of such questions, Tugendhat discusses phenomena such as egoism and altruism, the awareness of mortality, self-importance, the possibility of self-relativization, and the need for religion and mysticism.
