Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Who has the right to determine who a person is: the person in question, or those with whom the person interacts? In treating the self as socially constituted, social science has denied ‘authorship’ to the individual, seeing identity either as imposed by an other, or as formulated by the individual in relation to an other. Both views imply the insubstantial nature of selfhood.
