The MIT Press, 2000. — 337 p. In this book José Luis Bermúdez addresses two fundamental problems in the philosophy and psychology of self-consciousness: (1) Can we provide a noncircular account of full-fledged self-conscious thought and language in terms of more fundamental capacities?

New York: Springer, 2012. — 274 p. The conscious mind defines human existence.

Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2016. — 273 p.
