This is a distinctive and original treatment which covers an impressive sweep of philosophical ground, makes many original and surprising connections, and creates a whole new framework for thinking about self-knowledge and the philosophical landscape around it.

Bilgrami's book provides many interesting arguments woven together in an intricate approach to the notion of self-knowledge, and it provides an important and careful account of a normative and anti-naturalist approach to agency and intentionality.
- Markus Schlosser, Philosophical Quarterly
Bilgrami's book is a deep and painstaking pursuit of a project spanning some of the largest themes in philosophy, showing how they might bear on self-knowledge. Were one inclined to see self-knowledge as an isolated issue, this book is a great antidote.
