Abstract

Consider: The Why Question: What way of being related to a (conscious) person at a future time explains why that person will have (at that time) what matters in survival for you? Some have answered the Why Question in terms of narrative. Narrative-based answers to the Why Question can be in terms of psychological connectedness, or in terms of psychological continuity (which is a chain of overlapping instances of psychological connectedness). Chapter 6 considers an answer in terms of narrative-based psychological continuity. But this chapter focuses on an answer in terms of narrative-based psychological connectedness. In particular, this chapter focuses on—and raises objections to—an answer in terms of being alike with regard to ‘self-narrative’. As we shall see, this chapter thereby continues the discussion of the Selfer view that began in Chapter 4.

相同的自我叙述

思考:“为什么”问题:在未来的某个时候，你与一个(有意识的)人的关系如何解释为什么那个人会(在那个时候)对你的生存至关重要?有些人从叙事的角度回答了“为什么”这个问题。基于叙述的“为什么”问题的答案可以基于心理连通性，也可以基于心理连续性(即心理连通性的重叠实例链)。第六章从基于叙事的心理连续性的角度给出了答案。但这一章的重点是基于叙事的心理联系的答案。特别地，本章着重于——并提出了反对意见——关于“自我叙述”的相似性的答案。正如我们将看到的，这一章因此继续讨论在第4章开始的self观点。

期刊介绍： Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
