This book brings different ideas to bear on the classical problem
of the self. Self-perception, both ecological and social, is the
earliest and most fundamental form of self-knowledge. In his
introduction, Ulric Neisser describes the 'ecological self' as
based on direct and realistic perception of one's situation in the
environment; the 'interpersonal self' as established by social
interaction with other people. He argues that both of these
'selves' appear in early infancy, long before anything like a
self-concept or a self-narrative is possible. In subsequent
chapters, fifteen contributors - psychologists, philosophers and
others - elaborate on these notions and introduce related ideas of
their own. Their topics range from the perceptual and social
development of infants to autism and blindness; from mechanisms of
motor control to dance and non-verbal communication. The combined
contributions of these leading individuals creates an unusual
synthesis of perceptual, social and developmental theory.
