Sinossi

In "The Hidden Self," William James delves into the intricacies of human consciousness, exploring the duality between the public personas we project and the private selves we harbor. Employing a contemplative and engaging literary style, James intertwines philosophical inquiry with psychological analysis, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of identity and selfhood. This work emerges from the broader literary context of the late 19th century, a period rich in psychological exploration, making James's insights particularly relevant as he grapples with the implications of a fragmented self in a rapidly modernizing world. William James, a prominent figure in the realms of psychology and philosophy, was instrumental in introducing pragmatism and functionalism to the American intellectual landscape. His extensive academic background, combined with personal reflections on his own struggles with identity, informed his exploration of the hidden aspects of the self. This dual perspective as both a scholar and a seeker of truth allows readers to appreciate the depth of his inquiry into the inner workings of the mind. "The Hidden Self" is an essential read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the complexities of human identity. James's masterful prose and profound insights will resonate with readers from various disciplines, from psychology to philosophy, offering a thought-provoking journey into the layers of self and the often unseen aspects that shape our lives.

    By the close of 1864, Abraham Lincoln had been reelected, the Union army had taken Nashville from General Hood, and Sherman had concluded his total war, “slash-and-burn” march of destruction to Savannah, Georgia, offering it as a Christmas present to Lincoln. Nevertheless, with everything seemingly falling to pieces, the South still held out hope of some sort of miracle, and Davis even attempted to send a peace delegation to meet with Lincoln in the early months of 1865. On January 28, 1865 as Union General Ulysses S. Grant was continuing to lay siege to Lee’s army at Petersburg, Virginia, Davis sent three commissioners headed by Vice-President Stephens to initiate informal peace talks with Lincoln. By February 3, however, the talks, known as the Hampton Roads Conference, came to a stalemate as Lincoln would accept nothing less than total union, while Davis would only accept Southern independence.  
    	Even at that point, the South was clearly on its last legs. General George H. Thomas destroyed John Bell Hood’s Confederate army at the battles of Nashville and Franklin, leaving only two large Confederate armies still in the field. Lee's army was weakened by desertion, lack of supplies and casualties, and Joseph E. Johnston’s army could barely resist against Sherman’s army as it was advancing north toward Virginia.  
    	To most observers, the South was clearly reaching its end, but Davis had no intention of quitting the war. Even while he was fleeing, he attempted to order Confederate generals in the field to keep fighting. On April 9, 1865, Lee formally surrendered his weary army to Grant at Appomattox. Appomattox is frequently cited as the end of the Civil War, but there still remained several Confederate armies across the country, mostly under the command of General Joseph E. Johnston.
