Contemporary popular entertainment portrays a person recognizing another as an internal, mental process, says Wiggins, but he argues that the process takes place between people in the world, and is in fact, a mutual performance between two people. His first section, Marking the Limits of Recognition: Between Aristotle and the Odyssey, covers under the sign of nostalgia, performance in motion, Penelope's poetological epistemology, an ethics of authentic deception, and casualties of recognition. Then he turns to Outing Interiority: Modern Recognitions, with such topics as self-knowledge between Plato and Shakespeare: Alcibiades I and Troilus and Cressida, epistemologies of recognition: Goethe's Iphigenie auf Tauris and the spectacle of catharsis, and the fate of recognition: Kleist's Penthasilea.
