The stories of five people in search of self-understanding serve as touchstone throughout the book. Their identities are tied up with what they love. The book provides in-depth analyses of CNS of love and CNS of self-reflection. It critically discusses philosophers who focus on the relation between love, self-understanding and selfhood, such as Harry Frankfurt, Susan Wolf, Charles Taylor and SГёren Kierkegaard. It also builds an argument about CNS' contributions to self-understanding more broadly, and how different these are from philosophy's contributions.
