Document Summary
The connection between self and the social context. Did not view society as the result of a contract among autonomous individuals, nor see social order as driven entirely by relations of power. Humans are social creatures- society, therefore, is an innate part of human life. Language process is essential for the development of the self. The self develops in the given individual as a result of his relations to that process as a whole and to other individuals within that process.

Conscious- a(cid:374) e(cid:454)perie(cid:374)(cid:272)e (cid:449)ith, a(cid:374)d e(cid:454)perie(cid:374)(cid:272)e of, o(cid:374)e"s self. The self is entirely distinguishable from an organism that is surrounded by things and acts with reference to things, including parts of its own body. Reason cannot become impersonal unless it takes an objective, non-affective attitude toward itself; otherwise we have just consciousness, not self-consciousness.
