Abstract

Consider: The What Question: What is it for a person at a future time to have (at that time) what matters in survival for you? This chapter begins by clarifying the ideas that are invoked in my answer to the What Question. Then I motivate my answer, which is: its being appropriate for you to first-personally anticipate the experiences that that person will have at that future time; and if that person will have good (or bad) experiences at that future time, its being appropriate for you to have future-directed self-interested concern with regard to those experiences. This chapter also distinguishes the What Question from other questions with which it might be conflated.

生存的关键

思考：什么问题：一个人在未来的某个时候（在那个时候）拥有对你来说至关重要的东西是什么？本章首先阐明了我在回答“什么问题”时所引用的观点。然后我激发了我的答案，那就是：你首先亲自预测那个人在未来的经历是合适的；如果这个人在未来的某个时候会有好的（或坏的）经历，那么你应该对这些经历有针对性的自我关注。本章还将“什么问题”与可能与之混为一谈的其他问题区分开来。

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.
