Self and identity in modern psychology and Indian thought

East meets West in this fascinating exploration of conceptions of personal identity in Indian philosophy and modern Euro-American psychology. Author Anand Paranjpe considers these two distinct traditions with regard to historical, disciplinary, and cultural `gaps' in the study of the self, and in the context of such theoretical perspectives as univocalism, relativism, and pluralism. The text includes a comparison of ideas on self as represented by two eminent thinkers-Erik H. Erikson for the Western view, and Advaita Vedanta for the Indian.

  • "Anand Paranjpe's Self and Identity in Modern Psychology and Indian Thought is a fascinating explanation and exploration of personal identity concepts in the cross-cultural context of Western and Eastern traditions - detailing the theories of Erik H. Erikson and Advaita Vedanta as illustrative of Western and Eastern voices, respectively. An interdisciplinary range of contemporary perspectives of self are also examined including univocalism, relativism, and pluralism, with an emphasis placed on cognitive, emotional psychological, religious, and aesthetic considerations among others."
