The Singular Self: An Introduction to the Psychology of Personhood

By Rom Harré

Book Overview

Rom Harr ac]e's profound reappraisal of the many-sided concept of self shows that despite the centrality of our social and cultural identities, the self must ultimately be understood as autonomous, distinct and continuous - as a shifting but unified pattern of multiplicities and singularities. By acknowledging both the symbolic and the physiological aspects of our being, from language to biology, Harr ac]e maps the terrain of what it is to be a person in the context of discursive psychology.
