The Dialectic of Self

Part of the Analecta Husserliana book series (ANHU, volume 54)

Abstract

The human self requires reciprocal dialectical relations with others to achieve proper maturity; my interest in the essay to follow is the self that develops more or less autonomously of others, the self of the autistic child. This self albeit limited and truncated is nevertheless a seat of virtualities and habitualities. Exploring the possibilities for the self without others permits us some insight into the genetic structures of human development.
