Learning Content

There are different philosophical view of self. According to Socrates, he is principally

concerned with man. He considers man from the point of view of his inner life. The famous line of
Socrates, ‘Know Yourself’ tells each man to bring his inner self to light. A bas man is not virtuous
through ignorance; the man who does not follow the good fails to do so because he does not
recognize it.

According to Plato, ‘The Ideal Self, the Perfect Self’. He said, man was omniscient or all-
knowing before he came to be born into this world. With his separation from the paradise of truth
and knowledge he had. However, by constant remembering through contemplation and doing good,
he can regain his former perfections. Man who is now an exile earth has a guiding star, a model or a
divine exemplar which he must follow to reach and attain his destiny. In practical terms, this means
that the man in this life should imitate his former self; more specifically, he should live a life of
virtue, in which true human perfection exists. Happiness, which is the fruit of virtue, is attained by
the constant imitation of the divine exemplar of virtue, embodied in man’s former perfect self.

The Philosophical

View of Self

Socrates: Know Yourself

"Know yourself," tells each man to bring his inner sels.
who does n

Socrates is principally concerned with man. He considers man from the point of view of his inner life.
The famous line ‘Know yourself’ tells each man to bring his inner self to the light. A bad man is not
virtuous through 1gnorance; the man who does not follow the good fails to do so because he does
not recognize it.

The core of Socratic ethics is the concept of virtue and knowledge. Virtue is the deepest and
most basic propensity be learned, man. Knowing one's own virtue is necessary and can be learned.
Since s the source virtue is innate in the mind and self-knowledge is the source of all wisdom, an
individual may gain possession of oneself and one's own master through knowledge.

Plato: The Ideal Self, the Perfect Self

According to Plato, man was omniscient or all-knowing before he came to be born into this
world. With his separation from the paradise of truth and knowledge and his long exile on earth, he
forgot most of the knowledge he had. However, by constant remembering through contemplation
and doing good, he can regain his former perfections.
Man who is now an exile on earth has a guiding star, a mode, or a divine exemplar which he
must follow to reach and attain his destiny. In practical terms, this means that man in this life imitate
his should former self; more specifically, he should live a life virtue in which o true human perfection
exists. Happiness, Which is the fruit of virtue, is attained by the constant imitation or f the divine
exemplar of virtue, embodied in man's former perfect self.

Immanuel Kant: Respect for Self

Man is the only creature who governs and directs himself and his actions, who sets up ends
for himself and his purpose, freely orders means for the attainment of his aims. Every man is thus an
end in himself and should never be treated merely as a means-as per the order of the Creator and
the natural order of things. This rule is a plain dictum of reason and justice: Respect others as you
would respect yourself. A person should not be used
as a tool, instrument, or device to accomplish another's private ends. Thus, all men are persons
gifted with the same basic rights and should treat each other as equals.

René Descartes: "I think, therefore I am

Descartes states that the self is a thinking entity distinct from the body. His first famous
principle was "Cogito, ergo sum, which means "I think, therefore I am." Although the mind and the
body are independent from each other and serve their own function, man must use his own mind
and thinking abilities to investigate,
analyze, experiment, and develop himself.

John Locke: Personal Identity

John Locke holds that personal identity (the self) is a matter of psychological continuity. For
him, personal identity is founded on consciousness (memory), and not on the substance of either
the soul or the body. Personal identity is the concept about oneself that evolves over the course of
an individual's life. It may include aspects of life that man has no control over, such as where he
grew up or the color of his skin, as well as the choices he makes, like how he spends his time and
what he believes.
David Hume: The Self is the Bundle Theory of Mind
Hume is skeptical about the existence of the self, specifically, on whether there is a simple,
unified self that exists over time. For him, man has no "clear and intelligible" idea of the self. He
posits that no single impression of the self exists; rather. the self is just the thing to which all
perceptions of a man is ascribed. Moreover, even if there were such an impression of the self, it
would have to remain constant over time to constitute identity . However man’s impressions vary
and always change. Even attempts to have impressions of the self must fail for all these attempts
are really just occasions for one to notice perceptions. Put simply a person can never observe
oneself without some other perceptions. Thus Hume asserts that what we call the ‘self’ is really just
a bundle or collection of different perceptions which succeed each other with an inconceivable
rapidity.

The Christian or Biblical View of Self

The Holy Bible
‘God created man in His image; in the divine image He created him; male and female He created
them. God blessed them saying ‘Be fertile and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion
over the fish of the sea, the birds in the air and all the living things that move on the earth,’

Augustine: Love and Justice as the Foundation of the Individual Self

St. Augustine believes that a virtuous life is a dynamism of love. It is a constant following of
and turning towards love while a wicked life is a constant turning away from love. Loving God means
loving one's fellowmen; and loving one's fellowmen denotes never doing any harm to another or, as
the golden principle of justice states, doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.

The Psychological View of Self

Sigmund Freud: The Psychoanalytic Theory of Self
Freud's asserts that the human psyche (personality) is structured into three parts (tripartite) These
structures – the id, the ego and the superego –all develop at different stages in a person's life.
Although each part comprises
unique features form a contributes to an individual's behavior, they interact to form the whole.

Parts of Personality
1. ld (internal desires). Also called internal drives or instinctive drives, it consist of the body's
primitive biological drives and urges which are concerned only with achieving pleasure and self-
satisfaction. Id lives completely in the unconscious.

2. Ego (reality). It is the "T part of the individual that gives him/ her the sense of his/her own
identity. The ego is the rational part of the personality.

3. Superego (conscience). It is the part of the personality concerned with morals, precepts,
standards, and ideas. The superego is also the critical faculty of the personality.

Freudian Stages of Psychosexual Development

Freud also argues that the development of an individual can be divided into distinct stages
characterized by sexual drives. As a person grows, certain areas become sources of pleasure,
frustration or both.
1. Oral. From birth to the end of the first year, the mouth becomes the part of the body through
which gratification is secured.
2. Anal (expulsive phase). From the age of 2 to 3 years, derives the feelings of pleasure or pain from
defecating. lt
covers the toilet-training period.

3. Phallic. From the age of 3 to 6 years, the child gets curious about his/her genitals and becomes
attached to the parent of the opposite sex. The attraction of a boy to his mother is called Oedipus
complex, while that of a girl to her father is called Electra complex.

4. Latency. From the age of 10 to 12 years, sexual motivations presumably recede in importance as
the child becomes preoccupied with developing skills and other activities.

5. Genital. After puberty, the deepest feelings of pleasure presumably come from heterosexual
relations.

Erik Erikson: The Psychosocial Stages of Self-development

Erikson was primarily concerned with how both psychological and social factors affect the
development of individuals. He has formulated eight major stages of development, each posing a
unique developmental task and simultaneously presenting the individual with a crisis that he/she
must overcome (Table 1). As defined by Erikson, a crisis is not "a threat of catastrophe but a turning
point, a crucial period of increased vulnerability and heightened potential" (Erikson, 1968, p. 96).
Accordingly, individuals develop a healthy personality by mastering "life's outer
and inner dangers."
