Synopsis
Excerpt from Problems of the Self: An Essay Based on the Shaw Lectures Given in the University of Edinburgh, March 1914
This volume makes the attempt to consider a group of problems which offer an unceasing challenge to philosophers, and the catchword 'Psychology without a Soul' gives the best general indication of the type of problem discussed. The aim of the enquiry as a whole is to show why there must be a soul, and in what sense precisely this soul should be understood. A complete or final answer to such a question is, of course, unattainable until the day when all speculative problems have found their solution; but the labours of philosophers and psychologists in recent years have made it possible to appreciate most of the important questions at issue with a clearer understanding than at earlier times, and permit the hope that an enquiry which keeps both the earlier and the more recent literature constantly in mind, need not be altogether fruitless.
One of the principal difficulties of this investigation is that so much of the relevant literature consists either of merely negative arguments, or else of discussions which are undertaken from a somewhat different point of view.

Problems of the Self (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of the self through the lens of philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics. It examines the historical theories of the self, from Descartes' cogito to contemporary discussions of the body-mind problem and multiple personality. The author argues that the self is not simply a collection of experiences or the sum of its cognitive, emotional, and volitional acts. Rather, it is a dynamic and unified entity that transcends these individual components. The book explores the implications of this view for our understanding of personal identity, free will, and the relationship between mind and body. It concludes that the self is not a static entity but rather an ongoing process of becoming, constantly evolving and adapting to its environment. The insights offered in this book challenge traditional notions of the self and offer a new understanding of our own existence and place in the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330850855_0
