Description
This resource brings together late 1990s views on the nature of self- awareness, offering diverse ways of conceptualizing the self from biological, and cultural perspectives. A fundamental theme throughout the book is an understanding of how self-awareness relates not only to individuation, but also to one's awareness of other selves and how one identifies as part of a group. Chapters trace the developnment of self- awareness across the lifespan, including its role in education and its adaptation to real-world concepts.
Reviews / Votes
An excellent introduction to the burgeoning field of research on the development of the self. Bringing together leaders in philosophy, comparative psychology, and developmental psychology, and carefully sequencing their contributions, the editors provide a fascinating road map to the complexities of self-awareness, its development, and its centrality in any discussion about human nature itself. -- Michael Cole, PhD, Communication Department and Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition, University of California, La Jolla-
