Abstract

The Self in the history of ideas is dosely attached to the development of the concept of the soul (versus the body; dualism) and the individual personality as it happened in the Greek Antiquity. Since Socrates and his philosophy of knowing yourself the rational potential is strongly focused on (reaching its dimax by Spinoza and Locke), and by Jesus/the Christianity the meaning of conscience is introduced and at the same time the selfish (qua egoistic selfishness) is being tabooed. In Søren Kierkegaard a synthesis appears that emphasizes both the ethical (the consciousness) and the impassioned of the Self, that is defined as »a relationship that relates itself to itself«. Finally the de- and reconstruction of the Self in the psycoanalysis (Freud) and the existentialism (Sartre/Camus) is discussed.
