Study Notes

William James' Concept of the Self

The self consists of four constituents: the material self, social self, spiritual self, and pure ego.
The innermost part of the material self is the "body," as it serves as the primary physical medium of identity.
An essential part of the material self, influenced by Herman Lotze's philosophy, includes possessions which shape and reflect one's identity and experiences.

Role of Possessions in Relation to Self

Possessions are not merely items; they serve as extensions of the self, impacting one’s sense of identity and social status.
They create a connection between the self and the external world, allowing individuals to express who they are.

Concept of Time and Self

The phrase "possessions also extend the self in time" aligns with the idea that one's belongings can create a continuity of identity across different life stages and experiences.
