Modute 1 provides the learner a view of the Setf from the perspective
of Phitosophy, Sociology, Anthropotogy, psychotogy and Westein and
Eastern /Oriental Thoughts. Having an in-depth understanding of who a person
is from these contexts using concepts, theories and principles offer analysis
and reftections of the meaning of tife - the essence of the SeLf.
Psychotogy is the scientific study of the mind and the behavior. How a
person thinks, acts and fee[s is the direction of this discipline.
Lastly, the Western and Eastern view of the setf. Western focuses on
rationality white Eastern fuses supernaturaI in comprehending individuation.

PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWS OF THE SELF:
among phitosophers who made impact on our lives and influenced the way we
view human tife. Who are these phitosophers who contributed in the
understanding the se[f? Let us study them one by one and find out their
perspectives about individuatity.
Significant Experiences:
o Phitosophical Career - His pursuit of wisdom which became his futl. time
job for the rest of his life because of his fascination with intettectuat
conversation (parties, going to Agora marketplace).
Schools of Thought:
RATIONALISM, DUALISM
a. Rationalism - the search for truth and ctarity through
questioning, through reason
b. Duatism - The self is the immortal sout that exists over time. The
setf is not separated from the sout.
His martyrdom, and the genius of Ptato, made him a secutar saint, the
superior man confronting the ignorant mob with serenity and humor'
This was Socrates' triumph and Ptato's masterpiece. Socrates needed
the hemtock, as Jesus needed the Crucifixion, to futfitt a mission.
These three etements of our setves are working together. They are in
a dynamic relationship with one another either sometimes working in concert
or sometimes in bitter conflict.
When conftict occurs, Plato betieves is the job of our Reason to fix
it
things out and exert controt, reestablishing a harmonious relationship
between the three elements of our setves. He shows his view of the sout/setf
in Phaedrus with a vivid metaphor - the sout is likened to a winged chariot
drawn by two powerfu[ horses: a white horse, symbolizing the Spirit, and a
btack horse, embodying Appetite. The charioteer is Reason, whose task is to
guide the chariot to the eterna[ reatm by controtling the two independent-
minded horses. Those charioteers who are successful in sett'ing a true course
and ensuring that the two steeds work together in harmonious unity achieve
true wisdom and banquet with the gods. However, those charioteers who are
unable to control their horses and keep their chariot on track are destined to
experience persona[, inteltectual, and spirituaI faiture.
According to Plato, the body, with its deceptive senses, keeps us from
real knowtedge; it rivets us in a world of material things which is far removed
from the wortd of reatity; and it tempts us away from the virtuous [ife. lt is
through the soul that we shatl have knowtedge, be in touch with reality, and
lead a life of virtue. Onty the soul can truty know, for onty the sout can ascend
to the real wortd, the world of the Forms or ldeas.
Plato atso telts us about the nature of beauty. Beauty has nothing
essentiatty to do with the body or with the world of material things. Reat
beauty cannot "take the form of a face, or of hands, or of anything that is of
the ftesh." Yes, there are beautiful things, but they onty are entitted to be
described that way because they "partake in" the form of Beauty, which itsetf
is not found in the material wortd. Rea[ beauty has characteristics which
merely beautiful things cannot have.
lllustration 2: A student who is thirst y for knowtedge and driven towards the
achievement of her goat enrolted at D^.i/l\lrlSU Open University System
(Reason). She met friends and hang out with them during their vacant time,
discovering food hubs (Appetite). These friends for her brought her happiness
and a feeting of belongingness (Passion).
Activity 2: Make your own example how the three etements - reason,
appetite and spirit interact and cottaborate.
itsetf dwelts, and this sensible wortd which we perceive by sight and touch,"
but then adapted this metaphysic to Christian betiefs. Thus, Plato's uttimate
reatity, the eternal reatm of the Forms, became in Augustine's philosophy a
transcendent God. ln the same way, Ptato's vision of immorta[ souls striving
to achieve union with this eternat reatm through intetlectual enlightenment
became transformed by Augustine into immortal souts striving to achieve
union with God through faith and reason. The transient, finite nature of the
physicat wortd described by Ptato became in Christianity a proving ground for
our eterna[ destinies. Ptato's metaphysicat framework thus provided
philosophical justification for Christian beliefs that might otherwise have
been considered farfetched.
Significant Experiences:
o He received a Christian education when he was young, but deferred
receiving the sacrament and became a heresy which his mother Monica
greatty suffered.
a ln Mitan through the influence of Bishop Ombrose his souls tong and
difficutt quest finatly rested. He possessed the certainty that Jesus
Christ is the onty way to truth and salvation.

Sociology is the systematic study of social behavior and human groups.
It focuses primarily on the influence of social relationships upon peopte's
attitudes and behav'ior and how societies are estabtished and changed.
This is a very good exampte of how a person may vatidate his conceptions
about himsetf / hersetf . Further, this impties that the basis in understanding
social structure may arise from the actions of individuats.

This further states that part of how we see ourselves comes from our
perception of how others see us, who serve as mirror of oursetves.
The process of discovering the tooking-gtass setf occurs in three
steps:
a. An individuaI in a social situation imagines how they appear
to others.
b. That individual imagines others' judgment of that
appearance.
c. The individual devetops feelings about and responds to
those perceived judgments.
SUMMARY
What coutd be the retevance of studying the society and its behavior?
Through comparisons of behaviors, we can attempt to sotve issues and gain a
rational understanding of some of society's socia[ probtems and concerns.
Sociotogical backgrounds can be studied and can be a basis for improving and

LESSON 4
PSYCHOLOGY
Motivational Activity:
Psychology is a disciptine in
Behavioral science that seeks to measure, exp[ain and sometimes change the
behavior of man and animats. The word psychotogy is derived from 2 Greek
words, "psyche" (mind/sout), logos (science/ study). There are two
determinants of human behavior
b. "1"is the self that knows who they are and what they have done in
their [ife.
Both concepts are depicted in the statement; "l know it was me who
ate the cookie." He catted the "Me" part of self the "empirical me" and the "l"
part "the pure Ego". For James, the "1" part of setf was the thinking setf, which
could not be further divided. He linked this part of the self to the soul of a
person, or what is now thought of as the mind.
James further divided the "Me" part of setf into: a materiat, a soc.iat,
and a spiritual se[f, as betow.
Material self
The materiat setf consists of things that betong to a person or entities that a
person betongs to. Thus, things like the body, family, ctothes, money, and
such make up the material setf. The core of the material setf was the body.
Second to the body, a person's ctothes were important to the materiat setf. A
person's clothes were one way they expressed who they fett they were; or
ctothes were a way to show status, thus contributing to forming and
maintaining one's setf-image. Money and famity are critical parts of the
material self. lf one lost a famity member, a part of who they are was lost
atso. Money figured in one's material setf in a simitar way. lf a person had
significant money then lost it, who they were as a person changed as wett.
Social self
Our social setves are who we are in a given social situation. peopte change
how they act depending on the social situation that they are in. peopte had
as many social setves as they did social situations they participated in. For
exampte, a person may act in a different way at work when compared to how
that same person may act when they are out with a group of fr.iends. ln a
given social group, an individual's social self may be divided even further. An
example of this woutd be, in the social context of an individuat's work
environment, the difference in behavior when that individuat is interact.ing
with their boss versus their behavior when interacting with a co-worker.
Spiritual self
The spiritual setf was who we are at our core. lt is more concrete or
permanent than the other two selves. The spirituat setf is our subjective and
most intimate self. Aspects of a spiritual se(f include things like personatity,
core vatues, and conscience that do not typicatty change throughout an
individuat's Iifetime. The spirituaI setf invotves introspection, or looking
inward to deeper spiritual, moral, or intetlectual questions without the
inftuence of objective thoughts. Achieving a high [eve[ of understanding of
who we are at our core, or understanding our spiritual setves is more
rewarding than satisfying the needs of the sociat and material selves.
Pure eqo
This refers to as the "1" self. The pure ego is what provides the thread of
continuity between our past, present, and future selves. The pure ego's
perception of cons'istent individuat identity arises from a continual stream of
consciousness. lt is simitar to what we think of as the sout, or the mind. The
pure ego is not a substance and therefore coutd not be examined by science.
a There are two views of our setf: the "rea[ self" and the "ideal setf". The
rea[ setf is who and what we actuatty are. The idea[ setf is the type of
person we feet that we should be. The real setf has the potential for
growth, happiness, witl power, realization of gifts, etc., but it atso has
deficiencies. The ideal self is used as a model to assist the real setf in
devetoping its potential and achieving self-actuatization. But it is
important to know the differences between our ideat and real setf.
o The neurotic person's self is sptit between an idealized setf and a real
setf. As a resutt, neurotic individuals feel that they somehow do not
live up to the ideat setf. They feel that there is a flaw somewhere in
comparison to what they "should" be. The goals set out by the neurotic
are not realistic, or indeed possibte. The reat setf then degenerates
into a "despised self", and the neurotic person assumes that this is the
"true" setf. Thus, the neurotic is [ike a ctock's pendutum, osciltating
between a fattacious "perfection" and a manifestation of self-hate.
Horney referred to this phenomenon as the "tyranny of the shoutds" and
the neurotic's hopeless "search for gtory". She conctuded that these
ingrained traits of the psyche forever prevent an individuat's potential
TRUE SELF
"Onty the true setf can be creative and onty the true setf can feet reat.
The Irue Sell is a sense of being alive and real in one's mind and body,
having feetings that are spontaneous and unforced. This experience of
aliveness is what altows peopte to be genuinety close to others, and to
FALSE SELF
a A defense, a kind of mask of behavior that compties with others'
expectations. lt is what attowed one to present a "polite and mannered
attitude" in pubtic.
a Aged 93, is one of the most renowned living psychotogists in the fietd
of psychotogy
a Social Cognitive Theory takes an agentic view of the setf. This means
that individuats have the capacity to control their lives. They are
proactive, setf-reftective, setf-regulating and setf-organizing (Feist,
et., 2013). Peopte have the power to inftuence their own actions to
produce desired resutts. Thus, the Agent Self is the executive function
that attows for action. That is why; people make choices and utitize

Who are you reatly? ln Modute 1, you were abte to understand the self
as based on the perspectives of phitosophers. The setf as consisting of a body,
a soul and a mind, however the setf does not end in meanings only. There
should be a continuous exptoration of who we are. Why do you have to
investigate yoursetf? Why devetop yoursetf? Why maximize your potentiats?
There is a saying by Oscar Witde that says, "Be yoursetf. Everyone else is
taken." You cannot possess something which is not yours. lf there is one thing
in life that we can say we own it, that is - our setf. Life is so beautiful to be
wasted. As you age, there shoutd be a new discovery of who you are. Every
year, you are given the opportunity to uncover another layer of self
authenticity. As you celebrate your natal day, it marks a new beginning, a
new chattenge, a new struggle. lt is very difficutt indeed when you are not in
communion with your own setf. lt could be very exhausting attempting to be
someone you are not or trying yourself to fit into situations that are simpty
not you. Pteasing others a[[ the time sacrificing your own setf needs and
happiness can be very stressfut.
Therefore, being yoursetf means maximizing your best. How? Here are
five practical strategies by Vatori Burton (certified personal and executive
coach ).
(1) Say what you need to say. Are you too afraid to speak? Are you beating
around the bush? Have you found yoursetf telting a tittte tie to avoid
the embarrassment of telting the truth? This is a ctear sign you are not
being yourself. Think of a situation where you have not said what you
need to say. Authenticity means being forthright. Do not waste
precious energy pretending att is wet[ when it is not.
(2) Wear what makes you feel best. lt may seem superficiat, but it is not.
Ctothing is a language. Be creative. Dress in a way that makes you feel
good.
(3) Do what you know is right. There is nothing more authentic than tiving
your own values. When your actions do not line up with your betiefs,
inner turmoil is sure to fottow. Do what is right and you witt have a
sense of peace about your decision and actions.
(5) Breathe. Whenever you feet yourself being anxious, take a deep
breath. Let the air in and out slowly. Breathe and get centered aga.in.
It is such a simpte concept that can make an immense improvement in
your life and daity welt-being - just tike being yoursetf.
The Physical setf is the first aspect that can be usuatty seen by others
which can be a basis for a positive or negative acceptance. The body is an
agent for setf-expression. You can make a sense about the wortd through the
information gathered by the sense organs.
The Sexuat setf is the house for understanding your sexual being, how
you respond to biotogical and physiotogical changes. lt speak of your sexuat
heatth, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and va[ues around
sexuatity that might have effects on personatity.
The Spiritual Setf is associated with your personal relationship with the
supreme being - your God, being at peace with yourself and finding meaning
in life.

The work of Swami and Furnham above has introduced some of the
cuttural variation in what peopte consider to be attractive for potentiat
intimate retationships. There are a range of other features that have been
considered to influence attractiveness. whereas signs of heatthiness are most
important and once these have been considered, signats of weatth or status
may be taken into account. ln the last few decades in western societies
peopte have often vatued suntanned skin and stimmer buitds as this indicates
someone has the resources to eat a heatthy diet and take part in exercise as

with the dangers of sun tanning being researched and pubticized peopte with

The Sexual Self refers to the totatity of onesetf as a sexual being,
inctuding positive and negative concepts and feelings. lt speaks of your sexual
heatth, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and values around
sexuatity. A part of yourself where you learn and understand your sexua[
development, how's people sexua[ activity, betiefs, misconceptions, access
to internet on sex can inftuence your sexuat behavior and responses.

a parent approaches the toilet training process inftuences how
someone interacts with authority as they get otder. lt is during
this
stage that potty training and learning to conirot your bowet movements
and bladder are.a major source of pteasure ani tension. Harsh potty
training is thought to cause adutts to be anal retentive: perfectionists,
obsessed with cteantiness, and controtting. Liberat training,
on the
other hand, is said to cause a person to be anat exputsivE, ,"rry,
disorganized, oversharing, and having poor boundaries.
EROGENOUS ZO NES
This is the area of the human bodv that has heightened sensitivity,
the stimulation of which m ay generate a sexua[ response, such as
retaxation, sexuaI fantasies, sexual arousal and orqasm. lt is located in
atl
over the human body, but t he sensitivity of each varies, and de pends on
concentrations of nerve endinqs that can provide pteasurabte sensations when
stimulated. The touching of an other person's erogenous zone is regarded
as
an act of h sicaI intimac . Whether a person finds sti mutation in
these areas
to be pleasurabte or objec tionable depends on a range of factors, incLudin o
their tevet of arousat the circumstances in which it takes ptace, cutturat
context, nature of the retat ionship between persons invotved, and personat

. The man's testictes are withdrawn up into the scrotum.
. Breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure continue to increase.
. Muscte sDasms may begin in the feet, face, and hands.

James Witliam used the term "the empirica[ setf" to refer to a[[ of the
various ways peopte answer the question "Who am l?" He went on to group
the various components of the empiricat setf into three subcategories: (a) the
materia[ setf, (b) the sociat setf, and (c) the spiritual setf. The body is the
innermost aspect of the material self. The perceived certain body parts are
seen more private as compared to the others. The next aspect is ctothing; the
garments which protect and project the body. This is fottowed by famity being
connected by btood and famity shares their glory as well as shame. The home
comes next - it is where many aspects of life have been developed, it is where
one feels most comfortabte, and it is greatty linked to one's identity. This is
then foltowed by other possessions such as gadgets, cars, cotlections, etc.

Peopte with spiritual faith find praying a part of their system atready.
The power of praying creates miracte that is unexptainabte. Attached to thls
is the faith that one has. Many times, it is our own faith and betief in our God
that saved us from turmoit, keeping us ative and giving us hopes amid tife
adversaries. There is this other side of us that is in communion with our God.
The Spiritual Self is you in your most beautifut and powerfu[ form. lt is the
authentic setf, the unconditioned part, the you without patterns. This is
something persona[ for each of us. Some may identify with Higher Setf, The
Universe, God, Higher Power, your inner Buddha, your true being. lt is the
part of you that is connected to everything, the part that is [ove. Atong with
this, there is a feeting of peace within you. Being spirituat can be assoiiated
with nature, [ove, creativity, or anything etse which induced a sense of
serenity. lt speaks of the quality of one,s retationships - with God, setf,
others, institutions and God's entire creation, marked by respect,

Spirit is the vital principte or animating force within at[ [iving things
(fotk betief).
(W. Harvey, R. Descartes, 1628 & 1633) somewhere within the body,
in a speciat locatity, there was a 'vital spirit' or'vita[ force', which
animated the whote bodity frame. Conceived of as Supernatural being
or non-physical entity (exampte, a demon, ghost, fairy, angel).
(Ancient lstamic) a spirit (Afi'1, appties only to pure spirits, but not to
other invisibte creatures, such as jinn, demons and angets.
(Engtish Bibtes) Spirit denotes the Hoty Spirit.
The concepts of spirit and sout often overtap, and both are betieved to
survive bodily death in some retigions, and "spirit" can atso have the
sense of ghost, i.e. a manifestation of the spirit of a deceased person.
Spirit is also often used to refer to the consciousness or personality
Hebrew language concept of spirit is ruach or pneuma in Greek which
means "breath" which comes from God (tife giving part of man). The
sout is termed is nephesh or in Greek psyche which means originatty is
throat or neck which becomes human [ife. ln Modern Psychotogy, both
spirit and soul mean tife.
Ancient Fitipinos were animists - betieved that everything has a spirit
and soul even symbots have spiritual meaning. Bagobos betieve that atl
things possess a gimokud or soul (sumangot), inctuding man-made
objects. The Sama of Cagayan de Tawi-Tawi betieve that
the sumangot or sout is found in atl nature, even inanimate things. (The
Sou[ Boat and the Boat-Soul: An lnquiry into the lndigenous "Sout" by
M. Abrera)
Fitipinos use spirit and soul interchangeably. The term for spirit is
"Espiritu or espirito", "ginhawa" in Visayan term, "hininga" in Tagatog
and "anges" in ltocano.
Sou[ is termed as katutuwa (Tagatogs), kararwa (ltokano) or
kadkadduwa (from root word dua meaning two, kad means constant
companion), gimokud (Bagobos), makatu (Bukidnons), dungan if the
person is ative and katag if dead (llonggos), dungan (Visayans which
means wittpower), katuha (Cebuanos), karadwa or katag (Mindoro
fotks), ab-abbik (Cordiltera, term for spirituat setf)
Bibte regards the sout as the "breath of tife", the innermost aspect of
a person that signifies the spiritua[ principte in him. lt is because of
this spiritual sou[ that the body becomes ative.
