ABSTRACT

One of the more inconspicuously common words of daily life is ‘self’. As in: ‘I’m not myself today.’ When a person says such a thing she is saying, in effect, something is wrong with who I am today. ‘I’m not myself today.’ The ‘today’ is more important than it may seem. To distinguish between the myself of one day and any other day is to assume that there is a particular Who-ness to (again the word) our-selves.
