It considers the genetic and cultural origins of self, the role that self plays in socialisation and language, and the types of self we generate in our individual journeys to and through adulthood. Edwardes argues that other awareness is a relatively early evolutionary development, present throughout the primate clade and perhaps beyond, but self-awareness is a product of the sharing of social models, something only humans appear to do. The self of which we are aware is not something innate within us, it is a model of our self produced as a response to the models of us offered to us by other people. Edwardes proposes that human construction of selfhood involves seven different types of self. All but one of them are internally generated models, and the only non-model, the actual self, is completely hidden from conscious awareness. We rely on others to tell us about our self, and even to let us know we are a self. 517 $aOrigins of Self 606 $aPhilosophy of language$2bicssc 606 $aPsycholinguistics$2bicssc 606 $aSociology & anthropology$2bicssc 606 $aCognition & cognitive psychology$2bicssc 606 $aThe self, ego, identity, personality$2bicssc 606 $aLife sciences: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aSelf 610 $aSelfhood 610 $aAnthropology 610 $aPsychology 610 $aLinguistics 610 $aEvolution 610 $aanthropology 610 $aphilosophy 615 7$aPhilosophy of language 615 7$aPsycholinguistics 615 7$aSociology & anthropology 615 7$aCognition & cognitive psychology 615 7$aThe self, ego, identity, personality 615 7$aLife sciences: general issues 676 $a155.2 700 $aEdwardes$b Martin P.
