Our Multiple Selves

These posts posit that beside the individualist, hierarchist, and communitarian selves of Douglas, Fiske, Haidt, and Shweder, we have other internal selves as well (past/present/future, experiencing/remembering, fast/slow, sensing/moving, conscious/unconscious). In some sense these internal selves need to be negotiated before we can negotiate higher levels of meaning (Goffman) with the selves of others. Interestingly, these posts can also be categorized according to the structure of the Negotiating Meaning series: the brain, language and society, and thought styles.
