Synopsis

Explore the nature of the self and how it shapes culture, religion, and civilization.

This work blends metaphysics with psychology to examine personality, selfhood, and the social lives that make us who we are.

In thoughtful, accessible terms, it argues that the self is more than a bundle of sensations. It considers how our inner life connects with education, ethics, and the world we share, offering a clear map of how mind, values, and society influence each other. Read this edition to gain a fuller sense of how Western thought, culture, and spiritual life meet in the study of personality and the self.

• How selfhood develops through memory, social ties, and cultural context
• Different approaches in psychology and why a broad self-psychology view matters
• Connections between mind, moral life, and religion in shaping civilization

Ideal for readers of philosophy, psychology, and cultural studies who want a cohesive account of how individuals become part of a larger human story.
