The concept of a relational self has been prominent in feminism,
communitarianism, narrative self theories, and social network
theories, and has been important to theorizing about practical
dimensions of selfhood. However, it has been largely ignored in
traditional philosophical theories of personal identity, which have
been dominated by psychological and animal theories of the self.
This book offers a systematic treatment of the notion of the self
as constituted by social, cultural, political, and biological
relations. The author's account incorporates practical concerns and
addresses how a relational self has agency, autonomy,
responsibility, and continuity through time in the face of change
and impairments. This cumulative network model (CNM) of the self
incorporates concepts from work in the American pragmatist and
naturalist tradition. The ultimate aim of the book is to bridge
traditions that are often disconnected from one another-feminism,
personal identity theory, and pragmatism-to develop a unified
theory of the self.
