Definición

  • The self lies at the center of mental life. As the pragmatist philosopher and psychologist William James noted in the Principles of Psychology (1890/1981): Every thought tends to be part of a personal consciousness…. It seems as if the elementary psychic fact were not thought or this thought or that thought but my thought, every thought being owned…. On these terms the personal self rather than the thought might be treated as the immediate datum in psychology.
