Introduction: Sensing the self in world.

In 1997, Quassim Cassam published his first authored book I Self and World i . BRIEF SUMMARY OF SELF AND WORLD In I Self and World i , Cassam's overall claim is that 'introspective awareness of one's thinking, experiencing self as a physical object among physical objects, is a I necessary i condition of self-consciousness' (1997, p. 3). After that, I quickly got others on board: Dan Zahavi, whose expertise in phenomenology and philosophy of mind is clearly relevant to the book, and Anil Gomes, since he has been strongly influenced by Cassam and also has his own takes on Kant and philosophy of mind. Before that, I already knew that Cassam himself has moved on to other areas, partly due to the fact that his Oxford Kantian approach - not only I Self and World i but also I The Possibility of Knowledge i and various papers - was not taken serious by many of his peers.
