THE SUBJECTIVE SELF Harwood Fisher |
|
| Themes and Context | |
|
The personal experience of self has been
lost in a surge toward scientific description. Along with the salutary need to view and build the self, as an object, is the shunning of a psychology
that accounts for the individual's agency and for the self as an
origin. Out of the void, in which the person, as a subject,
disappears, because of a lack of logical and psychological identity, there are
remnants for the building of a picture of the self. I visualize a logical
space, working with ideas from Kurt Lewin, Jean Piaget, and Charles Sanders
Peirce. First I show and critique results all too common in various
versions of the psychology of the mind and self . Then, I show how the
logical structures of metaphor and category can be synthesized to make a
picture of the self as an origin and as a unique identity. |

How to Use this Site |
|
|
The book as 'portrait' projects alternating lines of thought and feeling. They extend to the author's viewing points, and when you change your viewing angle, they reach toward yours. At this website I'd like you to find out more about both. |
