Rom Harre on identity and self
‘Everything that appears to each of us in the intimate structure of our personal being, I believe to have its source in a socially sustained and collectively imposed cluster of theories (1984: 21)’
Harre, Rom. 1984. Personal being. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.
‘Personal being arises only by transformation in the social inheritance of individuals.’
‘We learn to conceive of ourselves as personal beings by the appropriation of the concept of social being from our public-collective activities for the purposes of organising our experience as the mental life of a self-conscious agent.’
