  The Self - A Very Short...

  Marya Schechtman

  'Know thyself' is said to have been one of the maxims carved into the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. On the face of it, this does not seem like a very difficult task. My self is with me at every moment of every day, I have access to its inner thoughts and feelings, and I am hardly liable to mistake someone else for me. At the same time, however, the self is surprisingly elusive and opaque. Our understanding of the self is replete with puzzles and paradoxes: I cannot be anyone but who I am, and yet everyone will acknowledge that there are circumstances in which being oneself is a difficult task. If I change enough, I can be said to have become a different person. I cannot get away from myself, and yet I can find and lose myself. 
   
   
   
  In this Very Short Introduction, Marya Schechtman uses insights from philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and popular thought to consider some of the most compelling and puzzling questions about the self, including questions about what kind of object a self is if it is an object at all, what it means to be oneself and why it is important, what kinds of changes the self can and cannot survive, whether a self can be separated from its body, whether more than one self can exist in a single body, and what role engagement with the environment and with other selves plays in constituting and maintaining the self.

  "They have soldiers. We only have arguments." – French Foreign Minister Théophile Delcassé 
  Near the end of the 19th century, Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event, known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa. The conference established two fundamental rules for European seizure of Africa. The first of these was that no recognition of annexation would granted without evidence of a practical occupation, and the second, that a practical occupation would be deemed unlawful without a formal appeal for protection made on behalf of a territory by its leader, a plea that must be committed to paper in the form of a legal treaty. 
  This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of Chartered Companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European African colonies. The ease with which this was achieved was due to the fact that, at that point, traditional African leadership was disunited, and the people had just staggered back from centuries of concussion inflicted by the slave trade. Thus, to usurp authority, to intimidate an already broken society, and to play one leader against the other was a diplomatic task so childishly simple, the matter was wrapped up, for the most part, in less than a decade. Even at that stage, however, the countries would keep jostling for position in Africa against each other, attempting to snap up more land and consolidate it. As such, the scramble kept going at a fevered pitch until the outbreak of World War I.

  In a time of rising division, political distrust, and cultural unrest, many people are asking the same haunting question: Is the American experiment collapsing—or simply being tested once again? The answer lies in the nation’s past. 
  The American Struggle for a More Perfect Union is a powerful, eye-opening exploration of the conflicts that shaped the United States and the battles that continue to define its future. From the founding of the republic to the Civil War, from Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement, and from modern political polarization to the fight for truth in the digital age, this book reveals the hard reality behind the American dream: democracy survives only when people are willing to defend it. 
  With clear storytelling and historically grounded insight, this book takes readers through America’s greatest turning points—moments when freedom was challenged, unity was fractured, and the nation stood at the edge of collapse. It examines the price of liberty, the power of dissent, and the courage of ordinary citizens who refused to accept injustice as destiny. 
  Inside these pages, you will discover: 
  how America’s founding ideals clashed with its earliest contradictions 
  why division has always been part of the democratic process 
  how war, protest, and political conflict reshaped the nation 
  what history teaches about leadership, resilience, and survival 
  why the struggle for freedom is still unfinished today 
  More than a history book, The American Struggle for a More Perfect Union is a timely guide for readers who want clarity in a confusing era. It offers perspective without propaganda, truth without exaggeration, and inspiration without illusion. 
  If you’ve ever felt uncertain about America’s future, this book will remind you of one critical fact: 
  The nation has faced darkness before—and survived.
