First published in Russia in 1976. ". an intelligent, witty, and engagingly-written introduction to a range philosophical questions. about the justification of knowledge, concept formation, self-consciousness, other minds, and so on." Book cover was designed by Vadim Kuleshov. A lovely copy of a rare book. About the book: "The question of consciousness, of its relation to being cannot in principle be reduced to a particular scientific problem of the correlation of mental and physiological processes or to a problem of the reception, processing and production of information. The essence of this problem is not what happens under my skull when I calculate the trajectory of a flight to the stars, but what in philosophy is called the question of the identity of thought and being. How is it possible that a person can mentally chart the road to the stars? How and why can he, in his thoughts, conceive of the existence of the Universe? How can the infinity of time and space be contained in the in­stant of their realisation in consciousness? This is the key question of the human ability to set goals. And unless one knows one's way through the two thousand years history of solutions to this question, one will have little chance of even framing a correct approach to any partic­ular problem of the relation between mind and brain. That is why I have called this book The Riddle of the Self. By suggesting that the Self, the Ego presents a rid­dle I imply that there may be many different ways of tackling it. This book is not a calm and consistent academic expo­sition of compiled knowledge. It is more like a not very good transcript of a heated debate. And it is not in itself the answer to the riddle, but a discussion of how the prob­lem should be stated. It is about the method that should be used in the search.".

In August 1945, he took part in the planning of the Soviet-Japanese War. After finishing the Red Army Mechanization and Motorization Academy in 1937 Shtemenko completed the General Staff Academy, and in 1940 he began his many years of service on the General Staff. During the war, as Chief of the Operations Department and Deputy Chief of the General Staff, he was directly involved in planning operations and campaigns and frequently visited the front to supervise their execution. From 1948 to 1952, Shtemenko served as Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR. Between 1953 and 1962 he held leading posts in a number of military districts and was Chief of Staff of Land Forces.
