Philosophical Perspective of the Self
St. Augustine
Self-presentation
people attempt to present themselves to control or shape how others (called the audience) view them.
Self-realization
In relation to his life, he was not afraid to accept himself despite of his unpleasant past. He wasn’t ashamed to tell the people of his sinful life in the past.
Sigmund Freud
-
“Who am I?”
like when we say “I run”, “I eat”, “I decide”, “I feel the tingling sensation”, or “I feel to cheat because it is wrong.”
Topographical Model
Hysteria (uncontrollable emotion or excitement), an individual person may both know and do not know certain things at the same time.
For example, we already know the disadvantage of not attending the online class without any reason, but we are not uncertain or we are not really sure why we keep doing it repeatedly.
Structural Model
-
ego
described as the part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world.
Superego
synthesizes the morals, values, and systems in society in order to function as the control outputs of the instinctive desires of the id (McLeod, 2007).
David Hume
-
Hume believes that impressions are also subjective,
temporary, provisional, prejudicial, and even skewed – and therefore cannot be persisting
sense of impressions, there will be no “self”.
we know about our self are just bundles of temporary impressions, and this supports the difficulty in answering the question “Who am I?” because everything we can readily answer is temporary (like color of the hair, height, weight, affiliations, etc.) and these are all non-persisting.
Immanuel Kant
-
time and space
these are the ideas that cannot find in the world, but is built in our minds. According to Kant, these are the apparatuses of the mind.
Without the self
individual cannot organize the different impressions that one gets in relation to his own existence.
John Locke
-
-
individual person
not only capable of learning from experiences but also skillful to process different perceptions from various experiences
