Revisiting the Self

Who am I? Or, even more curiously, who are you? These are questions about the self – that aspect of who we are that we believe defines, or at least describes, each of us. In this innovative and thought-provoking book, the various social aspects of the self and its construction are imaginatively explored. The book provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the theoretical and practical consequences of revisiting the self and identity. World-leading experts elaborate on the self and its construction as a key topic in contemporary social science. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science, and two articles from Self and Identity.
