The origins of knowledge about the self is arguably the most
fundamental problem of psychology. It is a classic theme that has
preoccupied great psychologists, beginning with William James and
Freud. On reading current literature, today's developmental
psychologists and ethologists are clearly expressing a renewed
interest in the topic. Furthermore, recent progress in the study of
infant and animal behavior, provides important and genuinely new
insights regarding the origins of self-knowledge.
This book is a collection of current theoretical views and
research on the self in early infancy, prior to self-identification
and the well-documented emergence of mirror self-recognition. The
focus is on the early sense of self of the young infant. Its aim is
to provide an account of recent research substantiating the
precursors of self-recognition and self-identification. By
concentrating on early infancy, the book provides an updated look
at the origins of self-knowledge.
