Wer bin ich - und wenn ja, wie viele?

Synopsis of Wer bin ich - und wenn ja, wie viele?

«Wer bin ich - und wenn ja, wie viele?» is Richard David Precht's philosophical popular science essay (Goldmann Verlag, paperback, 398 pages, in German).

An accessible journey through philosophy's big questions: what is truth, who am I, what can neuroscience know about consciousness, or how to ground morality. Precht combines history of thought, psychology, and science to show how identity and the meaning of existence have been conceived.

Originally published in September 2007, it became a Spiegel bestseller in Germany.

For curious readers who want to start philosophy without prior training, with a popular and approachable focus.
