Branches of Philosophy Podcast[28] Being No One The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity By Thomas MetzingerAn introduction and summary of "Being No One The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity" By Thomas Metzinger 2004

The phenomenal self, however, is not a thing but an ongoing process; it is the content of a "transparent self-model." In Being No One, Metzinger, a German philosopher, draws strongly on neuroscientific research to present a representationalist and functional analysis of what a consciously experienced first-person perspective actually is.
