- Summary:
- Feeling Faint is a book about human consciousness in its most basic sense: the awareness, at any given moment, that we live and feel.Such awareness, it argues, is distinct from the categories of selfhood to which it is often assimilated, and can only be uncovered at the margins of first-person experience.
