The self as a nested hierarchy
functionally, the self is indeed a nested hierarchy. This is because the higher functions of self, such as self-consciousness, are not independent of lower functions, such as basic awareness of…
A hierarchy of character traits
For the sake of simplicity, we can crudely schematise any given individual’s character into a hierarchy of types. The weakest kind of character traits are those which are passive and variable, neither self-chosen nor constant. Slightly more robust are passive, constant traits…
