Description

This is an exploration of the origins, doctrines and conceptions of the self in Western, Asian and African societies, ranging through Greek philosophy, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confuscism, Tao and African philosophy, and ending with contemporary feminism. The book is written from an anthropological perspective with an interdisciplinary approach. The author emphasizes the varying conceptions of self found cross-culturally and contrasts with the conceptions found in Western intellectual traditions.
