Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Self, written by James Oppenheim and published in 1917, is a philosophical work that explores the concept of self and its relationship to the world. The book is divided into four parts, each of which delves deeper into the author's ideas about the self.In the first part, Oppenheim introduces the concept of self and explains how it is formed through experience and interaction with the world. He argues that the self is not a fixed entity but is constantly changing and evolving.The second part of the book focuses on the relationship between the self and society. Oppenheim argues that society can either support or hinder the development of the self, and that it is important for individuals to find a balance between their own needs and the needs of society.In the third part, Oppenheim explores the relationship between the self and nature. He argues that nature has a profound impact on the self and that humans have a responsibility to protect and preserve the natural world.Finally, in the fourth part of the book, Oppenheim discusses the spiritual aspects of the self. He argues that the self is not just a physical entity but also has a spiritual dimension that is connected to the divine.Overall, The Book of Self is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to think deeply about their own identity and their place in the world.
