Excerpt from Personality
Everybody believes in his own existence and that he knows something about himself. What exactly he knows about himself, and his own personality, is another question. It is an interesting question; and, the moment a man tries to answer it, he begins to be a philosopher. But it is a difficult question, and, inasmuch as science contrives to get on without answering or even raising it, he may be tempted to doubt whether his own personality has any reality. Especially will this doubt become troublesome, when he discovers that psychology provides no proof of the existence of the self, and that some psychologists proceed to deny the reality of personal identity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of what it means to have a personality and to be an individual self. It begins by examining how the idea of the self has changed over time, from the animistic beliefs of primitive man, through the scientific and philosophical ideas of the 19th-century, to the present day. The author argues that the notion of a fixed and unchanging self is an illusion, and that our sense of self is constantly evolving and changing. The book goes on to discuss the relationship between the self and the body, the self and the mind, and the self and others. The author draws on a wide range of disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, and literature, to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking account of the nature of the self. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the nature of personal identity and the meaning of existence. It challenges our traditional assumptions about the self and offers a new way of understanding what it means to be human. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
