How should we understand the self, as well as personal, relational
and systemic growth? This volume proposes a radical new way of
answering this question. It rests on a non-representational theory
of knowledge on how to approach and understand the self and action
more broadly. Although it has never been lost, the Aristotelian
emphasis on excellence in moral character and practical reason as
preconditions for achieving happiness has gradually been degraded.
This book suggests that this has happened thanks to a split between
knowledge and action that can be traced back to the origins of
modernity. Modern academic disciplines in general, and psychology
in particular, are based on the idealisation of theoretical,
hypothetical and abstract reason, suggesting that this morally
neutral ideal must guide human action. This volume systematically
integrates those domains in a more profound and meaningful
proposal, relevant for current times and challenges.Based on
previous research bridging philosophy, psychology and neuroscience,
the contributors here identify two alternative paradigms for
conceiving of the self and human development: the so-called
"autonomous self" (AS) and the "inter-processual self" (IPS). The
book considers the person as an ethical being and as the
foundational cornerstone of a new theory of self, action and
knowing that achieves decisive distance from modern theory's
limitations. To keep on-going dialogue on human development open,
the authors introduce a new theoretical model (IPS) which can be
scientifically measured and tested; they also suggest its further
application in concrete, practical realms, thus touching on how the
adoption of the IPS paradigm inspires a renewed view of human
cognition, education, governance, and business management.
