Self-EvaluationAffective and Social Grounds of Intentionality
The book deals with one of the oldest topics in philosophy, the question of how to know about oneself. Focusing on the role of emotional attitudes in social relations, it proposes a novel way to approach this traditional question. Self-directed refelection is shown to be a complex process, involving more than observing and commenting one’s own behavior. By revealing the importance of emotional attitudes in assessing both intimateand social properties of one’s person, the book empha-sizes that self-directed refelection is an essentially evaluative activity.

Hegemony and Sovereign EqualityThe Interest Contiguity Theory in International Relations
The “interest contiguity theory,” which is the book’s centerpiece, holds that rather than a smooth, one-way cruise through history, human-kind’s journey from the inception to the present has brought him/her face to face with broadly
three types of interests. The first is the individual interest, which, strange as it may sound, tends to be internally contradictory. The second is society’s (or “national”) interest which, due to the clash of wills, is even more difficult than personal interest to harmonize. The third is the interest espoused to justify the establishment and maintenance of supranational institutions. Though conflicting, some interests are, due to their relative closeness (or contiguity), more easily reconcilable than others.In tracing the links between and among the three broad types of interests, the book begins with a brief philosophical discussion and then proceeds to examine the implications of human knowledge for individual liberty.
