On the Self (quoting William James)
“The ‘I’ which knows them cannot itself be an aggregate… it is a Thought, at each moment different from that of the last moment, but appropriative of the latter.” (p. 154)
On Social Cognition
“Human beings are not just thinkers; we are social animals whose very sense of self is constructed through the gaze of others.” (p. 12)
