Beschreibung:	Beatrice Longuenesse's lecture is an investigation of self-consciousness in connection with our use of the pronoun “I.” Beginning with contemporary discussions of our uses of the first person, she proceeds back in time to Immanuel Kant’s account of the thought “I think” and return to contemporary discussions via Freud’s analysis of the organization of mental processes Freud calls “ego” and “superego.” Longuenesse's working hypothesis is that self-consciousness and our uses of “I” rest on two quite different kinds of self-consciousness: consciousness of oneself as an embodied entity and consciousness of oneself as the agent of one’s own mental unity. Moderated by Tobias Rosefeldt, Chair of Classical German Philosophy at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin http://www.americanacademy.de/home/program/upcoming/i-me-mine-self-consciousness-and-first-person#
