[Xmca-l] Re: Identity and personality

[Huw Lloyd]

Hans,

The relation between the notions is a moving target. Perhaps one could
consider identity as tactic and personality as strategy to construe the
relation as dialectical.

As with any subject, one has different ontological view points, predicated
upon the author's own understanding (and development). Hence we have
different types of views about a developmental subject which itself goes
through these different types of views (of an 'I'). Some people will say it
is all social milieu, some that the development stops after childhood, some
put it down to experience or perezhivanie, some recognise that personal
agency can transcend social situations if one has conscious control over
emotional predispositions, etc.

Best,
Huw
