Description

The Open Self by Charles Morris is a philosophical and psychological exploration of the concept of the self. Morris argues that the self is not a fixed entity, but rather an open and dynamic process that is constantly evolving and shaped by our experiences and interactions with the world around us. Drawing on insights from a range of disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience, Morris explores the nature of consciousness, the role of language in shaping our sense of self, and the relationship between the individual and society. He also examines the ways in which our understanding of the self has evolved over time, from ancient philosophical ideas to modern psychological theories. Ultimately, Morris offers a compelling case for the importance of embracing an open and flexible approach to selfhood, one that allows for growth, change, and adaptation in the face of life's challenges and opportunities. The Open Self is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the nature of human consciousness and the complexities of the self.This is a new release of the original 1948 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
