Being No One / The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity by Thomas Metzinger (MIT Press, 2003) reviewed in Science by Franz Mechsner and Albert Newen:
Unsatisfied with the Cartesian framework, scientists try to explain human self-consciousness as a natural phenomenon. This “naturalization project” is guided by the complex question: How may conscious selfhood (subjective experience and autonomous agency) emerge from causal chains of events in a physical world? In Being No One, the German philosopher Thomas Metzinger addresses this challenge and proposes a framework of how self-consciousness might be naturalized.
