The'I' in the title pertains to the core of self that persists over
time. These are challenges that elude people like social
scientists, philosophers, or critics of literature and the arts,
who would chronicle or explain humanity's doings. This informative,
engaging, and joyous book by Norman N. Holland offers a usable
model for the aesthetics, psychology, history, and science of the
human subject. Holland begins by modeling the self as a theme and
variations, constant yet constantly changing. He shows how
symbolization, perception, cognition, and memory all contribute to
the sense of I, hence how any one I grows out of a specific history
and culture but also out of experiences all humans share. Holland
proposes a scientific psychology based on his model, fusing the
experiments of academic psychology with the insights of
psychoanalysis. He illustrates his theory by the lives of George
Bernard Shaw, Scott Fitzgerald, and other writers, as well as
Freud's patient "Little Hans," in adulthood a famed stage director
at the Metropolitan Opera. The I and Being Human attempts nothing
less than to draw together aspects of the self, such as objectivity
and subjectivity, that have eluded connection. In so doing, Norman
Holland offers a rereading of psychoanalysis as a theory of the I.
