Philosophical self
no trace of a self? Christopher D. Green
true self of human beings is the
reason or the intellect that constitutes
their soul and that is separable from
their body. (Plato)
Aristotle, for his part, insisted that the
human being is a composite of body
and soul and that the soul cannot be
separated from the body. Aristotle’s
philosophy of self was constructed in
terms of hylomorphism in which the
soul of a human being is the form or
the structure of the human body or
the human matter
Scientific selfThe self is indefinable. To
define is to assign the object defined to a
given class and to distinguish it from
other members of the class; and the self
is sui generis and therefore incapable of
definition. To quote Oesterreich, it "is a
kind of thing which one can merely
indicate (auf das man nur hinweisen
kann) but which one can as little
demonstrate to the I-blind as one can
demonstrate color to the color-blind."[1]
But Oesterreich's simile must not mislead
us.
The self is often bowed out of psychology
on the ground that scientific
introspection has failed to discover it.
The object of this paper is to examine
and to estimate this charge. The problem
is two-fold. First, is the fact as stated:
have scientific psychologists really found
Physical Self (Sanjay Singh)
refers to the body, this marvelous
container and complex, finely tuned,
machine with which we interface with
our environment and fellow beings.
The Physical Self is the concrete
dimension, the tangible aspect of the
person that can be directly observed
and examined.
The material self Lorraine escobar
refers to tangible objects, people, or
places that carry the designation my
or mine. Two subclasses of
the material self can be distinguished:
The bodily self and the extracorporeal
(beyond the body) self.
The digital self is the persona you use
when you’re online. Some people
maintain one or more online identifies
that are distinct from their “real world”
selves; others have a single online
self that’s more or less the same as
the one they inhabit in the real
world.EVONOMIE
Your Spiritual Self is you in your most
beautiful and powerful form. It is the
authentic self, the unconditioned part,
the you without patterns.(Hoffman)
The Political Selfis that the
conceptually discrete categories of
‘inner’ and ‘outer’ in reality constantly
interact, shape, and inform each
other.The Philippines as we know it
today has only emerged in the 1890’s
after over three centuries of
colonization of the Spaniards.
Meanwhile, liberation from the last
colonizers, the Japanese, only
occurred in 1946.
Emotional Self-Awareness is the ability
to understand your own emotions and
their effects on your performance. You
know what you are feeling and why—
and how it helps or hurts what you are
trying to do. You sense how others see
you and so align your self-image with a
larger reality. You have an accurate sense
of your strengths and limitations, which
gives you a realistic self-confidence. It
also gives you clarity on your values and
sense of purpose, so you can be more
decisive when you set a course of action.
As a leader, you can be candid and
authentic, speaking with conviction
about your vision.Daniel goleman
Mental health is the level
of psychological well-being or an
absence of mental illness. It is the
state of someone who is "functioning
at a satisfactory level
of emotional and behavioural
adjustment".[1] From the perspectives
of positive psychology or of holism,
mental health may include an
individual's ability to enjoy life, and to
create a balance between life
activities and efforts to
achieve psychological resilience.[2]
Mental wellbeing, in general, is the
state of thriving in various areas of
life, such as in relationships, at work,
play, and more, despite ups and
downs. It’s the knowledge that we are
separate from our problems and the
belief that we can handle those
problems.
The Social Self is a multifaceted

the social nature of the self. The
emphasis is on self-esteem along
with self-centrality, self-complexity,
social interest, identification, power,
marginality, openness, and majority
identification.
Sexual self-concept refers to the
totality of oneself as a sexual being,
including positive and negative

Papini, 1989):
