The Early Modern Subject
Udo Thiel presents a critical evaluation of the understanding of self-consciousness and personal identity in early modern philosophy. He explores over a century of European philosophical debate from Descartes to Hume, and argues that our interest in human subjectivity remains strongly influenced by the conceptual framework of early modern thought.

Locke on Persons and Personal Identity
Ruth Boeker offers a new perspective on Locke's account of persons and personal identity by considering it within the context of his broader philosophical project and the philosophical debates of his day. In contrast to some neo-Lockean views about personal identity, she argues that Locke's account of personal identity is not psychological per se, but rather his underlying moral, religious, metaphysical, and epistemic background beliefs are relevant for understanding why he argues for a consciousness-based account of personal identity.
The Mirror Metaphor and Coleridge's Mysticism
This study treats Coleridge's thinking as an integral whole and follows in detail the chronological development of Coleridge's quest. It begins by placing modern subjectivity within the history of the mirror metaphor, that here represents mysticism in the west, from antiquity to modernity. It then analyzes Coleridge's encounter with the metaphor and traces his lifelong engagement with it that culminates in the formation of the Pentad. It discusses his early poems and poetics, his reading and rewriting of Kant and his own transcendentalism seen in Biographia Literaria and Aids to Reflection. It then compares Coleridge's mirror metaphor with two contemporary mirror metaphors by Lacan and Rorty.

Marx
The understanding of the philosophy upon which Karl Marx's work is based has undergone more fundamental changes in the last 30 years of the 20th century than at any time since the death of Engels. The articles in this collection have been chosen to represent these changes as they have been registered in the learned journals of the Anglophone world. There have been three main loci of change: the relation between Marx's work and that of Engels; the place of ethics in Marx's work; and Marx's relation to the Enlightenment on the one hand and to the Aristotelian tradition in philosophy on the other.
Didactic Literature in England, 1500-1800
The development of literacy in the early modern period - a literacy that was often based upon the ability to read, and for many to read only the printed word - encouraged a universal interest in didactic texts.
