"What is the purpose of my life?"
"What am I doing here?"
"What is justice?"
Humans must be able to define these simple things to move forward and act accordingly based on what is the definition of the said individual.
  • Dualistic: For Socrates, every man is composed of body and soul.
    • Body: Imperfect and impermanent
    • Soul: Perfect and permanent
  • First martyr for the elusive fight against ignorance and bigotry

  • Rational soul: forged by reason and intellect, has to govern the affairs of the human person
  • Spirited part: in charge of emotions, should be kept at bay
  • Appetitive soul: in order of base desires like eating, drinking, sleeping, and having sex is controlled as well
When this ideal state is attained, then the human person's soul becomes just and virtuous.

  • Body: bound to die on earth
  • Soul: to anticipate living eternally in a realm of spiritual bliss in communion with God

Body and mind
The only thing that one cannot doubt is the existence of the self, for even if one doubts oneself, that only proves that there is a doubting self.

I think; therefore, I am.

The fact that one thinks should lead one to conclude without a trace of doubt that he exists.

Impressions: 
  • the primary objects of our experience or sensations
  • form the core of our thoughts
  • vivid because they are products of our direct experience with the world
Idea: copies of impressions

Self is a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perceptual flux and movement.

  • there is necessarily a mind that organizes the impressions that men get from the external world
  • actively engaged intelligence in man that synthesizes all knowledge and experience
  • self is not just what gives one his personality
  • self is the seat of knowledge acquisition for all human persons

  • Mind and body are so intertwined that they cannot be separated.
  • One cannot find any experience that is not an embodied experience. 
  • All experience is represented. 
  • One's body is his opening toward his existence to the world.
  • The living body, his thoughts, emotions, and experiences are all in one.

    Society should be analyzed and described in terms of functions.
    Society is 
    • a system of interrelated parts where no one part can function without the other. These parts make up the whole of society.
    • made up of people with specialized roles and responsibilities.
    • move from mechanical to organic solidarity through the division of labor. 

    Western cultures tend to emphasize certain ways of being independent

    The self is not there from birth, but it is developed over time from social experiences and activities.
    Three activities that develop the self:
    • Language
    • Play
    • Games

    People based their sense of self on how they think others see them.
    - A mirror which people use the judgments of others to measure their worth, behavior, and values.
    1. We imagine how we appear to others when in a social situation. 
    2. We imagine what others think of our appearance.
    3. We form opinions and feelings about this perceived judgment and then respond to it.

    Ideal and Real Self
    The subjective experience of a person contributes to the development of the self. Self or self-concept is defined by the words I, my, myself, and me. It is what separates you from others.]]>     2022-04-01 05:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lyzzareign/utssignificantpeople/wish/2124887708     William James lyzzareign https://padlet.com/lyzzareign/utssignificantpeople/wish/2124887853 Concepts of the Self
    The self is both the “knower” and the “known”. It is partly object and partly subject.

    The I Self
    The pure ego of an individual knower. It contains three dimensions:
    1. Individual
    2. Relational
    3. Collective

    The Me Self
    This is the empirical self; the object of thought. It contains three dimensions:
    1. Material
    2. Social
    3. Spiritual

    People have the power to influence their own actions and produce the desired consequences, this is called human agency.
    In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.

    The main features of human agency are:
    1. Intentionality
    2. Forethought
    3. Self-reactiveness, and
    4. Self-reflectiveness

    Proactive Self
    The ability to face problems, prevent, or resolve problems.

    Agentic Self
    The capacity to exercise control over their own lives.
