Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the concept of self within the historical, cultural, and philosophical contexts that have shaped it. The author traces how the notion of a unified, individual self has developed from ancient times to the present day. By examining the philosophical ideas, cultural practices, and social structures that have influenced the construction of selfhood, the book sheds light on the dynamic and multifaceted nature of human identity. Through a comprehensive analysis of various perspectives, the author demonstrates how the concept of self is not a fixed or static entity, but rather a fluid and evolving construct that is shaped by the interactions between individuals and their environment. This book offers a valuable contribution to the field of identity studies, providing a deeper understanding of the complexities of selfhood and its significance in human experience.
