Mahmoud Khatami: a Primer of His Ontetic Philosophy of Human Subjectivity Sophia Taylor

Human subjectivity is one of central themes in modern philosophy, and great minds of Modern Philosophy like Kant, Hegel, Husserl and Heidegger, to name a few, devoted their philosophical career to verify aspects of that issue which is still focal in current debates. The present book is written, however, to follow up and introduce that issue in the works of the Persian philosopher Mahmoud Khatami. Khatami has developed a speculative system of thought which is called ?ontetic philosophy? and taken human subjectivity as its major theme. This book undertakes to describe aspects of khatami's analysis of human subjectivity including such themes as consciousness, action, imagination, emotion, conscience, morality, body-mind relation and the transcendence of human subjectivity. This book, therefore, provides a fresh introduction to an interesting approach to human subjectivity and helps shed some light on the issue; it should be especially useful to professionals in philosophy as well as psychology,anthropology and religious studies.
