The Open Self

The Open Self by Charles Morris is a philosophical exploration of the concept of the self and its relationship to the world. Morris argues that the self is not a fixed entity, but rather an open and dynamic process that is constantly shaped by our experiences and interactions with others. He draws on a range of philosophical and psychological theories to support his argument, including existentialism, phenomenology, and social psychology. The book is divided into three main sections: the first explores the nature of the self and its relationship to the world, the second examines the role of language and communication in shaping the self, and the third considers the implications of an open self for ethics and politics. Throughout the book, Morris emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and self-reflection in cultivating a more open and authentic sense of self. The Open Self is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or personal growth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
